Question

On dividing a number by  357, we get 39  as remainder. On dividing the same number by 17. what will be the  remainder ?


Options:
A .  0
B .  3
C .  5
D .  11
Answer: Option C

Let  `x` be the number and y be the quotient. Then ,

   `x` = 357`xx`  y + 39

        = (17 `xx`21`xx`  y) + (17 `xx `2) + 5

       = 17`xx` (21 y + 2) + 5.

`therefore` Required remainder = 5
