If x is the remainder when 361284 is divided by 5 and y is the remainder when 496 is divided by 6, then what is the value of 2x - y?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. - 2.

361284 /5   can be compared to 34n

34n unit digit is always 1

so,

361284 /5  gives remainder 1 

i.e, x =1

Now,

always gives remainder 4

Hence 496/6  gives remainder 4

y = 4

2x - y = 2(1) - 4 = -2
