A is the smallest positive integer which when divided by 9 and 12 leaves remainder 8. B is the smallest positive integer which when divided by 9 and 12 leaves remainder 5. Which one of the following is the value of A - B? Correct Answer 3

Given:

A is the smallest positive integer which when divided by 9 and 12 leaves the remainder 8.

B is the smallest positive integer which when divided by 9 and 12 leaves the remainder 5.

Calculation:

The smallest positive integer which is divided by 9, 12 = 36

The value of A = 36 + 8 = 44

The value of B = 36 + 5 = 41

The value of A - B = 44 - 41 = 3

∴ The value of A - B is 3.
