On dividing a number by 42, we get 120 as the quotient and 0 as the remainder. On dividing the same number by 41, what will be the remainder?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e.38.
As we know,
Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
According to the question,
A number (N) is divided by 42
Quotient = 120 and Remainder = 0
⇒ N = 42 × 120 + 0 = 5040
Now, the same number (N = 5040) is dividing by 41 then
⇒ 5040 = 41 × 122 + 38
Hence, the remainder will be 38
