Answer 2

Answer:

No option is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Dividend = 221 and Divisor = 6

To find: Remainder

We do long division then check which option is correct.

Step 1: 2 of hundred place is not divisible by 6 so first we divide 22

Step 2: 22 is divided by 6 giving quotient 3 and remainder 4.

Step 3: now we drop 1 with 4 to make 41 as dividend for next division

Step 4: 41 is divided by 6 giving quotient 6 and remainder 5.

Therefore, No option is correct As it leaves remain 5 but there is no option with remainder 5
