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 of 2 number is 1365 and if add 1365 to that a number (x+1365) is equal to other number that is = (6x+15).
2. How can find it biggest or smaller so that you can figure it if you add something to smaller than it become equal to other number x+1365=6x+15.

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.

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.
