Q.

On dividing a number by 56, we get 29 as remainder. On dividing the same number by 8, what will be the remainder ?

View Answer

Correct choice: B

Explanation:

Formula: (Divisor*Quotient) + Remainder = Dividend.

Soln:

(56*Q)+29 = D -------(1)

D%8 = R -------------(2)

From equation(2),

((56*Q)+29)%8 = R.

=> Assume Q = 1.

=> (56+29)%8 = R.

=> 85%8 = R

=> 5 = R.
