The remainder when dividing the expression (X + Y) by 5 is 4.
The remainder when dividing the expression (X + Y) by 5 is 4. The remainder of X divided by 10 is 2. What is the remainder T of Y divided by 5?
Answer/Solution
T=2.
Steps/Work
X divided by 10 gives reminder of 2. X can be 2/12/22....
X+Y divided by 5 is 4. X + Y can be 4/ 9/ 19....
If X+Y= 4 and X is 2 then Y = 2 and Y/5 will give a reminder of 2
Similarly, if X+Y= 9 and X = 2, then y/5 will give a reminder of 2
Hence the answer must be 2 (B)
Also....
x+y=5m+4 and x=10K+2
hence 10k+2+y=5m+4 or y=5(m-2k)+2, m-2k being a constant remainder is 2 hence answer is B
