13.
The difference of two numbers is 1365. On dividing the larger number by the smaller, we get 6 as quotient and the 15 as remainder. What is the smaller number ?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the smaller number be x. Then larger number = (x + 1365).
x + 1365 = 6x + 15
5x = 1350
x = 270
Smaller number = 270.

Difference between two natural nos is 23. If we get quotient 2 on dividing the bigger no by the smaller no then find the nos.

How you get x/y-15=6?

Can we simply apply this,
x-y = 1365.
x\y = 6 (is it necessary to add remainder with it).
x-y = 1365.
x\y = 6 (is it necessary to add remainder with it).

The solution is wrong it doesn't satisfy the condition.
As per solution smaller number is 270 so, when you divide larger number i.e. (1365 - 270 = 1095).
Then, 1095/270 is not equal to 6.
