Given below are two statements Statement I: If two numbers divided by a third number give the same remainder, their difference is exactly divisible by that number. Statement II: Least common multiple of two or more given numbers is the largest number which is exactly divisible by each of them. In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Given below are two statements Statement I: If two numbers divided by a third number give the same remainder, their difference is exactly divisible by that number. Statement II: Least common multiple of two or more given numbers is the largest number which is exactly divisible by each of them. In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below Correct Answer Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Calculation:

Statement 1:

Let two numbers 15 and 17 and third number be 2

When we divide 15 by 2 we get remainder 1

When we divide 17 by 2 we get remainder 1

When divided by 2 we will  get same remainder = 1

Difference in two numbers = 17 - 15 = 2

Difference of two numbers/ third number = 2/2 = 1

So, their difference is exactly divisible by third number.

Hence, Statement 1 is correct.

Statement 2: 

Let two numbers are 3 and 4

L.C.M. of 3 and 4 = 2 × 2 × 3 = 12

When we divide 12 by 3 we get 4

When we divide 12 by 4 we get 3

So, the L.C.M. is divisible by two or more numbers.

Hence, Statement 2 is correct.

∴ Both the Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true.

The human eye is a complex part of the body that is used for seeing. Eyes enable people to perform daily tasks and to learn about the world that surrounds them. Sight, or vision, is a rapidly occurring process that involves continuous interaction between the eye, the nervous system, and the brain. When someone looks at an object, what he really sees is the light reflected from the object. This reflected light passes through the lens and falls on the retina of the eye. Here the light induces nerve impulses that travel through the optic nerve to the brain and then over other nerves to muscles and glands.
The eye is similar to a television camera. Both the eye and the television camera convert light energy to electrical energy. The eye converts light to nerve impulses that are interpreted by the brain as the sense perception called sight. A television camera converts light to electronic signals that are broadcast and transformed into light images in a television receiver. It is wonderful that human eyes blink an average of once every six seconds. This washes the eye with the salty secretion from the tear or lachrymal glands. Each tear gland is about the size and shape of an almond. These glands are situated behind the upper eyelid at the outer corner of the eye. After passing over the eye, the liquid from the gland is drained into the nose through the tear duct at the inner corner of the eye. The sense perception that the brain releases after the eye converts light to nerve impulses is known as
