A number when divided by 296 leaves 75 as remainder. When the same number is divided by 37, the remainder will be:
1
2
8
11
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let x = 296q + 75

   = (37 x 8q + 37 x 2) + 1

   = 37 (8q + 2) + 1

Thus, when the number is divided by 37, the remainder is 1.

Just divide 75 with 37 you will get 1 as the remainder (that's the answer).

Eg ) On dividing a number by 357, we get 39 as remainder. On dividing the same number 17, what will be the remainder?

In this case, divide 39 with 17 and find remainder = 5 (that's the answer).

@Rohith Shetty.

Thank you very much.

Dividend = Divisor * quotient + Remainder.
: D = 296*Q + 75.
: R = D%37.
R = ((296Q+75)%37).

75/37 = 2+1.

So, the reminder is 1.

296 + 75 = 371.

371 divided by 37 = 1is reminder.

You can solve it in very simple steps. Let the number be x.

Therefore x = 296q+75 (q=quotient)
Now when you divide the same number by 37 it can be written as
x/37 = 296q/37 + 75/37

Here 296 is completely divisible by 37 by 8 times so whatever comes out the remainder on dividing 75 by 37 will be a final remainder.

75÷37 gives 1 as remainder.

Here, quotient = 2.
The remainder left here is 1.
So 75/34=1.

How 75/37 = 1? Explain in detail.

Formula: dividend=(divisor*quotient)+remainder....assume dividend will be x. According to formula.
x =( 296*q) + 75.

The same number is divided by 37(296 and 75 ye number 37 so 37*8=296 and 37*2=74+1=75).
= (37 x 8q + 37 x 2) + 1.
Common term separated.
= 37 (8q + 2) + 1.
