The difference between two numbers is 1086. When we divide the larger number by the smaller we get six as quotient and six as remainder. Find the larger number.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 1302.
Let the smaller number be x
⇒ Larger number = x + 1086
By Euclid's division lemma, the larger number can also be written as 6x + 6
⇒ x + 1086 = 6x + 6
⇒ 5x = 1080
⇒ x = 216
The smaller number is 216 and the larger number = 216 + 1086 = 1302
