a) 15 b) 14 c) 13 d) 12

Answer:

When 14 is divided by 4 and 6, the remainder is 2 (option b).

Given,

A certain number is divided by either 4 or 6, and the remainder is 2.

To Find,

The possible number that satisfies the conditions from the options

Solution,

The method of finding a number that has remainder 2 when divided by 4 and 6 is as follows -

Let us write the multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, ...

Let us write the multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, ...

We can observe one of the common multiples of 4 and 6 is 12.

If 12 is divided by 4 and 6, the remainder will be 0.

In the question, it is said the remainder will be 2.

So, if we add 2 to 12, then it becomes 2+12=14.

We can observe that 2 is the remainder when 14 is divided by 4 and 6.

Hence, 2 is the remainder when 14 is divided by 4 and 6.
