On dividing a number by 357, we get 39 as remainder. On dividing the same number 17, what will be the remainder ?
B. 3
C. 5
D. 11
E. None of these
Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Let x be the number and y be the quotient. Then,x = 357 × y + 39
= (17 × 21 × y) + (17 × 2) + 5
= 17 × (21y + 2) + 5
∴ Required remainder = 5
