When a number is divided by 13, the remainder is 11. When the same number is divided by 17, then remainder is 9. What is the number ?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
x = 13p + 11 and x = 17q + 9
13p + 11 = 17q + 9
17q - 13p = 2
| q = |
2 + 13p |
| 17 |
| The least value of p for which q = | 2 + 13p | is a whole number is p = 26 |
| 17 |
x = (13 x 26 + 11)
= (338 + 11)
= 349
