Question : When a number is successively divided by 3, 4 and 7, the remainder obtained are 2, 3 and 5, respectively. What will be the remainder when 84 divides the same number?
Option 1: 71
Option 2: 30
Option 3: 48
Option 4: 53
Correct Answer: 71
Solution : Remainders corresponding to the divisor (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder = Dividend Start from the last digits The number gives a remainder of 5 when it is divided by 7 = (7$x$ + 5) The number gives the remainder 3 when it is divided into 4 = 4 × (7$x$ + 5) + 3 Also, the number when divided by 3 gives the remainder 2 = 3 × {4 × (7$x$ + 5) + 3} + 2 = 3 × (28$x$ + 20 + 3) + 2 = 84$x$ + 71 The number is 71 more than a multiple of 84. So, if the number is divided by 84, the remainder will be 71. Hence, the correct answer is 71.
