Question
A number when divided by a divisor left reminder 23. When twice of the number was divided by the same divisor, reminder was 11. what is the divisor?Options352512342
Solution 1
Let's denote the number as 'a' and the divisor as 'd'.
From the problem, we know that:
- a = kd + 23 (where k is some integer)
- 2a = ld + 11 (where l is some integer)
We can substitute the first equation into the second to get:
2(kd + 23) = ld + 11 2kd + 46 = ld + 11 2kd - ld = 11 - 46 (d)(2k - l) = -35
Since d is a divisor, it must be a positive integer. Therefore, the only possible value for d from the given options that can satisfy this equation is 35.
Solution 2
Let's denote the number as 'a' and the divisor as 'd'.
From the problem, we have two equations:
- a = d*q1 + 23 (where q1 is the quotient of the first division)
- 2a = d*q2 + 11 (where q2 is the quotient of the second division)
We can express a from the first equation and substitute it into the second equation:
2*(dq1 + 23) = dq2 + 11 2dq1 + 46 = dq2 + 11 2dq1 - dq2 = 11 - 46 d*(2*q1 - q2) = -35
Since d must be a positive integer, the only possible value from the options given that can divide -35 is 35. So, the divisor is 35.
Solution 3
Let's denote the number as 'a' and the divisor as 'd'.
From the problem, we have two equations:
- a = d*q1 + 23 (where q1 is the quotient of the first division)
- 2a = d*q2 + 11 (where q2 is the quotient of the second division)
We can express 'a' from the first equation and substitute it into the second equation:
a = dq1 + 23 2(dq1 + 23) = dq2 + 11 2dq1 + 46 = dq2 + 11 2dq1 - dq2 = 11 - 46 d*(2*q1 - q2) = -35
Since 'd' is a divisor, it must be a positive number. Also, 'q1' and 'q2' are quotients, they are also positive numbers. Therefore, the only way for the equation to hold true is when '2*q1 - q2' is a negative number.
Looking at the options, the only number that can divide -35 is 35. So, the divisor 'd' is 35.
