Re: When 26 is divided by K, the remainder is K-2, k >= 2 , k=? [#permalink]

Quantity A

A) Quantity A is greater.
B) Quantity B is greater.
C) The two quantities are equal.
D) The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.


Any number \(N\) when divided by divisor \(x\) can be written as: \(N = xQ + Remainder\)

Here, \(26 = KQ + (K - 2)\)
i.e. \(26 + 2 = K (Q + 1)\)
\(K = \frac{28}{(Q + 1)}\)

When \(Q = 0\), \(K = 28\)
When \(Q = 1\), \(K = 14\)
When \(Q = 3\), \(K = 07\)
When \(Q = 13\), \(K = 04\)
When \(Q = 27\), \(K = 02\)

Col. A: Sum of all possible values of k is \(55\)
Col. B: \(55\)

Hence, option C


When \(Q = 13\), \(K = 02\)
When \(Q = 27\), \(K = 0\), Is not it sir?

Correct Sir, I have made the necessary changes.
The OA must be A

Col. B: \(55\)

Hence, option A
Question says K>=2 when q=27 then k=1 this value of k shall not be added to the sum as that fails the condition that k>=2. The sum then of all the possible values comes to be 55 hence, the answer should be C
