I have a few sweets to be distributed. If I keep 2, 3 or 4 in a pack, I am left with one sweet. If I keep 5 in a pack, I am left with none. What is the minimum number of sweets I have to pack and distribute ?\nOptions:\n(A) 5\n(B) 7\n(C) 23\n(D) 4\n(E) 2 Let's think first. Stream of consciousness:

Clearly, the required number would be such that it leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 2, 3 or 4 and no remainder when divided by 5.
So, the answer is (A).
