Question

The numbers 474738 and 535342, when divided by n, a two digit number, leave a remainder of 13 and 17 respectively. Find the sum of the digits of n? 04 2 5 27 8​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As remainder is 13 & 17 so dividend must be greater than 17  

272738 = n*a+13 => 272725=n*a ---(1)

232342 = n*b+17 => 232325=n*b ---(2)

Last two digit of (1)&(2) is 25 so n must be 25, no other two digit no. greater than 25 satisfies this

272725=25*10909

232325=25*9293

n=25, sum of digits of n = 2+5 = 7

So the correct answer is option A: 7
