Question

On dividing a certain number by 342, we get 47 as remainder. If the same number is divided by 18, what will be the remainder?
1. 12
2. 11
3. 47
4. None of the above

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 11

Given:

Divisor = 342

Remainder = 47

Formula Used:

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

Calculation:

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

Case:1

Dividend = 342 × Quotient + 47

Case:2

Divisor = 18

Dividend = 47

47 ÷ 18

Quotient = 2

Remainder = 11

∴ If the same number is divided by 18, the remainder will be 11

The correct option is 2 i.e. 11
