Question

37. The number x is exactly divisible by 5 and the
remainder obtained on dividing the number y by 5
is 1. What remainder will be obtained when (x +
y) is divided by 5?
(a) (b) 1 (c)2
(d) 3​

Answer 1

Answer:

option b) 1 is the answer of the question

Answer 2

Answer:

Let x/5 = p and let y when divided by 5 gives q as quotient and 1 as remainder.

Then, y = 5q + 1

Now x = 5p and y = 5q + 1

∴ x + y = 5p + 5q + 1 = 5(p + q) + 1

So, required remainder = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

so the answer is 1
