Correct Answer: 5
Solution : Divisor = 56, Remainder = 29 Let D = Dividend, R = Remainder, Q = Quotient $(56\times Q)+29 = D$ ---(1) $R=\frac{D}{8}$ ---(2) Solving equation (1) and equation (2), we get $R=\frac{(56\times Q)+29 }{8}$ ⇒ $R=\frac{(56\times Q)}{8}+ \frac{29}{8}$ ⇒ $R=7Q+ \frac{24+5}{8}$ ⇒ $R=(7Q+3)+ \frac{5}{8}$ (Dividing by 8 gives 5 as a reminder) Thus, the remainder is 5. Hence, the correct answer is 5.
