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.

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).

(diff-rem)/qut-1=small num
so
(1365-15)/6-1=270
so
(1365-15)/6-1=270
