    D)  21

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Here, \[52-33=78-59=117-98=19\] Now, \[52=13\times 2\times 2\] \[78=13\times 2\times 3\] \[117=13\times 3\times 3\] \[\therefore \] LCM \[=13\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 3=468\] \[\therefore \] Required number \[=468-19=449\] Hence, the sum of digits is 17.
