Given number = 6,000.

x2131519)6000x+))57x2+2a30x+1a19x2+2xa110x+1xa95x2+3x+)15\begin{array}{l} \phantom{x^21}{\quad 315} \ 19\overline{\smash{\big)}\quad 6000} \ \phantom{x^ + )}\phantom{)}\underline{-57} \ \phantom{{x^2 } + 2a} 30 \ \phantom{{x} +1a}\underline{-19} \ \phantom{{x^2 } + 2xa } 110 \ \phantom{{x} +1xa}\underline{-95} \ \phantom{{x^2 + 3x +)}} 15 \ \end{array}

The remainder when 6000 is divided by 19 is 15.

Least number to be added to make the number divisible = 19 − 15 = 4.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
