The remainder when the positive integer m is divided by n is [#permalink]
2
The remainder when the positive integer m is divided by n is r

Theory: Dividend = Divisor*Quotient + Remainder

m -> Dividend
n -> Divisor
a -> Quotient (Assume)
r -> Remainders
=> m = n*a + r = an + r ...(1)

What is the remainder when 2m is divided by 2n

2m = 2*(an + r) (from (1))
=> 2m = 2an + 2r = 2n*a + 2r
=> 2m when divided by 2n gives a as quotient and 2r as remainder

So, Answer will be B
Hope it helps!
