The second question is
and so the two equations becomes

n = dxq1 + 24
2n = dxq2 + 11

How do you solve them to get 37

priyad

LIke this....

Assume original number= a
The divisor= d
The quotient of the division = x
So, a/d = x & the remainder= dx+24

Twice original no. divided by d, 2a divided by d & as a=dx+24, so
2a= 2dx+48. From the question this gives remainder of 11
2dx is divisible by d, so no remainder from this part
Hence, the remainder 11 should have come from 48/ d
& 48/ 37 gives a remainder of 11. So the divisor is 37.

Indigo

x in both the situation (i.e. when remainder is 11 and 24 is not same)

I also did the same
n = dq1 + 24
2n = dq2 + 11

I have q1 and q2 as different which you named as x

priyad

yes, I noticed..so what answer are you getting?

Indigo

Not able to solve it.

priyad

Try using "q" instead of q1 & q2 ..
& also, in your second equation, you have to double the dx also..so thi-.2n = dxq2 + 11 will be 2n= 2.......

priyad

okay?

shabbir

q1 and q2 should be equal is I think missing from the question?

priyad

Not required to mention in the question, as it is the same number is being doubled
