SSC Selection Post - Graduation Level 2020 - 9 Nov 2020 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q63

When 93, 119, and 158 are divided by the integer n (n > 1), the remainder in each case is d. What is the value of (n + d)?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 15.

119 - 93 = 26

158 - 119 = 39

158 - 93 = 65

HCF of 26, 39, 65 (n) = 13

93/13 → 2 (Reminder)

d = 2

Now, n + d = 13 + 2 = 15
