If each of the two numbers 516 and 525 are divided by 6, the remainders are R1 and R2 respectively. What is the value of 
?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 6/5
Two numbers 516 and 525 are divided by 6, the remainders are R1 and R2 respectively.
If a number in the form of (x - 1)n is divided by x.
Remainder = 1 if n is an even number
Remainder = (x - 1) if n is an odd number
516 = (6 - 1)16
Remainder = (6 - 1)16/6 = 1 i.e. R1
525 = (6 - 1)25
Remainder = (6 - 1)25/6 = (6 - 1) = 5 i.e. R2
(R1 + R2)/R2 = (1 + 5)/5 = 6/5
