Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 1 CONCEPT: Dividend = (Quotient × Divisor) + Remainder CALCULATION: Suppose divisor is k, then, x = 23k + 8 According to the question – ⇒ (4x + 15) = [4(23k + 8) + 15] ⇒ 92k + 32 + 15 ⇒ 92k + 47 When (92k + 47) is divided by 23, then, 92k is completely divisible by 23 and leaves 1 as a remainder when 47 is divided by 23. ⇒ Rem[(92k + 47)/23] = Rem(47/23) = 1 |
