SSC CHSL - 03 July 2024 - Shift 4 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q72

When the integer n is divided by 18, the quotient is x and the remainder is 6, When the integer n is divided by 25, the quotient is y and the remainder is 15. Which of the following is true?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 18x − 25y = 9.

We can express the given information as two equations:

⇒ n = 18x + 6

⇒ n = 25y + 15

Since both expressions equal n, we can set them equal to each other:

⇒ 18x + 6 = 25y + 15

Rearranging the equation, we get:

⇒ 18x - 25y = 9
