A number when divided by 119 leaves 19 as remainder if the same number is divided by 17 the remainder obtained.
a) 2
b) 3
c) 1
d) 5
Correct option: (a) 2
Explanation:
Let, the Number = x
Quotient = q
Divisor = (d) = 119
Remainder = (r) = 19
X = (d x q) + r
X = (119 x q) +19
Same number when divided by "17"
x = (17 x 7 x q) + 17 + 2
= 17 (7q + 1) + 2
Remainder is "2"
