When 93, 119 and 158 are divided by the integer n(n > 1) , the remainder in each case is d. What is the value of (n+d)?1. 172. 193. 144. 15

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 15

Given :

93, 119 and 158 when divided by n, give remainder d in each case 

Concept used :

HCF of 3 different numbers a, b and c = HCF of (b -a), (c -b) and (c -a)

Calculations :

93, 119 and 158 gives remainder d when divided by n 

Then, (93 - d), (119 -d) and (158 - d) must be divisible by n 

Now 

HCF of (93 - d), (119 - d) and (158 - d) = HCF of (119 - d - (93 - d), (158 -d -(119 -d) and (158 - d - (93 -d)

⇒ HCF of 26, 39 and 65 

⇒ 13 

So value of n will be 13 

Remainder we get on dividing 93, 119 and 158 by 13 is 2 

So d = 2 

S0,

n + d = 13 + 2 

⇒ 15 

∴ The value of (n + d) is 15
