Correct Answer: 6


Solution : Let the quotient when the number is divided by 45 be $x$.
Then, the number should be 45$x$ + 21
= (15 × 3$x$) + 21
Let 3$x$ = P.
So, 45$x$ + 21 = 15P + 21
So, it is clear that 15P is completely divisible by 15
So, the remainder should be 21 – 15 = 6.
Hence, the correct answer is 6.
