Let r(x) = ax+b, when p(x) is divided by (x-2)(x-3).
According to division lemma,
⇒ p(x) = (x-2)(x-3) q(x) + r(x)
⇒ p(x) = (x-2)(x-3) q(x) +ax+b
Now, p(2) = 1
⇒ (2-2)(2-3) q(3) + a×2 + b = 1
⇒ 2a+b = 1 ⇢ (i)
Also, p(3) = 3
⇒ (3-2)(3-3) q(3) + a×3 + b = 3
⇒ 3a+b = 3 ⇢ (ii)
Subtracting (i) and (ii), we get
a = 2, b = -3 ⇒ r(x) = 2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:
Let r(x) = ax+b, when p(x) is divided by (x-2)(x-3).
According to division lemma,
⇒ p(x) = (x-2)(x-3) q(x) + r(x)
⇒ p(x) = (x-2)(x-3) q(x) +ax+b
Now, p(2) = 1
⇒ (2-2)(2-3) q(3) + a×2 + b = 1
⇒ 2a+b = 1 ⇢ (i)
Also, p(3) = 3
⇒ (3-2)(3-3) q(3) + a×3 + b = 3
⇒ 3a+b = 3 ⇢ (ii)
Subtracting (i) and (ii), we get
a = 2, b = -3 ⇒ r(x) = 2x-3
