Check the divisors of 87 which is 1, 3, 29 and itself.
So when subtracting the given number by the options if it is divisible by 3 then we can choose that as a correct option.
13601 - 29 =13572 to check the divisibility of 3 1+3+5+7+2=18.

In this problem,by subtracting 29 from this number we get 13572.
1 + 3 + 5 + 7+ 2 = 18
And 8 + 7 = 15, 1 + 5 = 6 so 18 is divisible by 6.
1 + 3 + 5 + 7+ 2 = 18
And 8 + 7 = 15, 1 + 5 = 6 so 18 is divisible by 6.

In the previous example we subtract the remainder from divisor and the result is taken as the required number.
But in this example we take the remainder as a required number.
Why?.. Why this difference?..

The question is wrongly written because they are saying that the REMINDER is divisible by 87. Can anyone tell me that how they are performing the divison0?
In question, they have not mentioned a word of dividing the (subtracted from 13601) this calculation by 87.

If we want to add then divisor-remainder.
If we want to subtract then only remainder.
