The sum of two numbers is 1522. On dividing the larger number by the smaller number, we get 4 as quotient and 27 as remainder. What is the remainder when smaller number is divided by 18? Correct Answer 11

Given,

Let smaller number be M.

Larger number = 1522 – M

Given,

⇒ (1522 – M) = M × 4 + 27

⇒ 5M = 1495

⇒ M = 299

Given,

⇒ 299 = 18 × 16 + ?

⇒ ? = 11

The remainder is 11.
