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 ?
339
349
369
Data inadequate
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
