When two numbers are separately divided by 44, the remainders are 11 and 38, respectively. If the sum of the two numbers is divided by 44, then the remainder will be:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 5.
Let the two numbers be x and y
When x is divided by 44, we get 11 as the remainder
When y is divided by 44, we get 38 as the remainder
Hence, when the sum is divided by 44 we just divide the sum of the individual remainder.
⇒ (11 + 38)/44 = 49/44
Therefore, 5 is the remainder
