On dividing a number by 357, we get 39 as remainder. On dividing the same number 17, what will be the remainder ?

A. 0

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
