A number when divided by 296 leaves 75 as remainder. When the same number is divided by 37, the remainder will be:
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.

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.
x =( 296*q) + 75.

(divisor * quotent) + remainder = dividend.
Why this formula can't be used?

If 296 is completely divisible by 37 then remainder will be 75%37 = 1.

Let x = 296+75(dividend=(divisor*quotient)+remainder).
x = 371.
x = 371.

Another method is to just add 75 to 296 and then divide it by 37.

LET X=296q+75
=(37*8q+37*2)+1
=37(8q+2)+1...datz it
1 is the remainder
=(37*8q+37*2)+1
=37(8q+2)+1...datz it
1 is the remainder
