Question

If a number is divided by 357 the remainder is 5, what will be the remainder if the number is divided by 17?a) 9b) 3c) 7d) 5

Answer 1

Given, divisor = 357 , remainder = 5

the required number will be

=divisor + remainder

=357 + 5 = 362

362 / 357 = 5 ( remainder )

if we devide it by 17 ,then

362 / 17 = 5 ( remainder )

hence , the remainder will be 5 .

therefore ,option (d) is the correct answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option d - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : If a number is divided by 357 the remainder is 5.

To find : What will be the remainder if the number is divided by 17?

Solution :

If a number is divided by 357 the remainder is 5.

So, The divisor = 357 and remainder = 5

The required number formed is 357+5=362

$362=357\times 1+5$

So, If we divide 362 by 357 the remainder is 5.

Now, If we divide the required number by 17 then the reminder is

$362=17\times21+5$

The reminder is 5.

Therefore, If we divide the required number i.e. 362 by 17 the remainder is 5.

So, Option d is correct.
