A number when divided by 15 leaves the remainder 12. Another number when divided by 5 leaves the remainder 2. What is the remainder when their sum is divided by 5? Correct Answer 4

Let the number be 27

If we divide 27 by 15 we get 12 in remainder.

Let the other number be 7

If we divide 7 by 5 we get 2 in remainder.

Sum of both the numbers = 27 + 7 = 34

∴ if we divide 34 by 5 we get 4 as remainder.
