Answer:

  25201

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of eggs is one more than some factor times the LCM of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. That factor will make the result be a multiple of 11. Since the LCM is 2520, and that has a remainder of 1 modulo 11, we know we must multiply it by 10 before adding 1 in order to get a multiple of 11.

That is, the lady has 2520×10 +1 = 25201 eggs.
