The difference between two numbers is 1365. When the large number is divided by the smaller one, the quotient is 6 and the remainder is 15. What is the smaller number ?
Options:
A .  240
B .  270
C .  295
D .  360
Answer: Option B Let the smaller number be x Then, larger number = (x + 1365) ∴ x + 1365 = 6x + 15 ⇒ 5x = 1350 ⇒ x = 270 Hence, the smaller number = 270
