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.

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

I can't understand "6x+15" this step, why x is multiplied with 6? Can anybody help me?

How you got 6X+15 ?

x is smaller no.
Seema i think you will get after this:
after multiply to 6(quotient) we get original no.
e.g 2)23(11
- 2
------
03
2
-------
1
so 2*11=22 & after adding reminder i.e 1 into 22 we get 23.

@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...

Why the larger no is added. since there is a difference of two numbers in question.
