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.

Smaller = x.
Larger = 1365+x.
We have,
Dividend = 1365+x.
Divisor = x.
Quotient = 6.
Remainder = 15.
Dividend = (divisor*quotient)+remainder.
So,
1365+x = (x*6)+15.
Larger = 1365+x.

225 is the correct answer.
1365 - 15 = 1350.
So, 225 * 6 is 1350, and the remainder is 15. So, kindly calculate the sum with the answer.
1365 - 15 = 1350.
So, 225 * 6 is 1350, and the remainder is 15. So, kindly calculate the sum with the answer.

Why m i gettin 225 ??? 6*225=1350 and remainder is 15 and quotient is 6 ....in that case it matches up small number which is 225 ....

y-x=1365
y=1365+x
y/x-15=6
y-15=6x
y=6x+15
x + 1365 = 6x + 15
5x = 1350
x = 270
Smaller number = 270.
y=1365+x
y/x-15=6
y-15=6x
y=6x+15
x + 1365 = 6x + 15
5x = 1350
x = 270
Smaller number = 270.

Let's assume;
x is the larger number.
y is smaller number.
x - y = 1365
x/y = 6
x = 6 * y + 15,
6 * y + 15 - y = 1365.
y = 270.
x is the larger number.
y is smaller number.
x - y = 1365
x/y = 6
x = 6 * y + 15,
6 * y + 15 - y = 1365.
y = 270.

a-b = 1365.
a/b = Q => 6 and 15 as R.
(b*6)+15 = a.
(b*6)+15 = 1365+b.
(b*6) - b = 1350.
6b-b = 1350.
5b = 1350.
b = 270.
a/b = Q => 6 and 15 as R.
(b*6)+15 = a.
(b*6)+15 = 1365+b.
(b*6) - b = 1350.
6b-b = 1350.
5b = 1350.
b = 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.

It is done through formula:- dividend=(divisor*quotient)+remainder
Here,divisor=X(smaller no.)
quotient=6
remainder=15
Here,divisor=X(smaller no.)
quotient=6
remainder=15

@shoeb
if x-y=1365
then y=x+1365
here in this problem they assumed x is d smaller and y is d larger one..
got it...

Here x+1365 = 6x+15.
1365-15 = 6x-1x.
1350 = 5x.
x = 1350/5.
x = 270.
1365-15 = 6x-1x.
1350 = 5x.
x = 1350/5.
x = 270.
