For any two given positive integers a and b, there exists unique whole numbers q and r such that a = bq + r, where 0 ≤ r ≤ b.(a) True(b) FalseThis question was addressed to me during an interview for a job.Query is from Euclid’s Division Lemma topic in chapter Real Numbers of Mathematics – Class 10

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (a) True

To explain: According to Euclid’s Division lemma, any two numbers can be written in the form of a = bq + rwhere a and B are integers and q and r whole numbers.

For Example: 28 when divided by 7 give 4 as quotient and 0 as remainder.

So, according to Euclid’s Division Lemma,

28 = 7 × 4 + 0
