Steps/Work

The easiest way to solve this question is by plugging in a number. Here are the steps I followed:
1) Choose a number X that when divided by 63 gives you 27 as a remainder. So I did x = 63 + 27 = 90. (90/63 = 1R27)
2) Divide that number by 8. 90/8 = 11R2
Since the remainder is 2, the correct answer is choice D.
