    Here , d = 33
    If two numbers are separately divided by a certain divisor (d) leaving remainders r1 and r2, then remainder after their sum is divided by the same divisor.

    Correct Option: D

    Here , d = 33
    If two numbers are separately divided by a certain divisor (d) leaving remainders r1 and r2, then remainder after their sum is divided by the same divisor.
    Required Remainder = r1 + r2 – d
    Required Remainder = 21 + 28 – 33 = 16


  1. In a division sum, the divisor is 10 times the quotient and 5 times the remainder. If the remainder is 46, then the dividend is

    Given , Remainder = 46
    As per the given question ,
    Divisor = 5 × Remainder
    Divisor = 5 × 46 = 230
    And Divisor = 10 × Quotient


    Quotient =
    230
    = 23
    10

    Correct Option: D

    Given , Remainder = 46
    As per the given question ,
    Divisor = 5 × Remainder
    Divisor = 5 × 46 = 230
    And Divisor = 10 × Quotient


    Quotient =
    230
    = 23
    10

    ∴  Dividend = Divisor ×
    Quotient + Remainder
    Dividend = 230 × 23 + 46
    Required dividend = 5290 + 46 = 5336



  1. When a number is divided by 24, the remainder is 16. The remainder when the same number is divided by 12 is

    According to question ,


    ∴  
    Number
    , remainder = 16
    24

    Correct Option: B

    According to question ,


    ∴  
    Number
    , remainder = 16
    24

    Required remainder = 16 – 12 = 4 (because 24 is a multiple of 12.)


  1. 47 is added to the product of 71 and an unknown number. The new number is divisible by 7 giving the quotient 98. The unknown number is a multiple of

    Let the unknown number be p.
    ∴  71 × p + 47 = 98 × 7
    ⇒   71p = 686 – 47 = 639

    Correct Option: D

    Let the unknown number be p.
    ∴  71 × p + 47 = 98 × 7
    ⇒   71p = 686 – 47 = 639


    ⇒  p =
    639
    = 9 = 3 × 3
    71

    Thus , The unknown number is a multiple of 3 .



  1. A number when divided by 91 gives a remainder 17. When the same number is divided by 13, the remainder will be :

    Here, the first divisor (91) is a multiple of second divisor (13).

    Correct Option: B

    Here, the first divisor (91) is a multiple of second divisor (13).
    ∴ Required remainder = Remainder obtained on dividing 17 by 13
    ⇒ 17 = ( 13 × 1 ) + 4
    Hence Required remainder = 4
