Theory
Quantity A
The remainder when 14 is divided by 5 = The remainder when 4 is divided by 5 = 4
Quantity B
The remainder when 14 is divided by 3 = The remainder when (1+4=5) is divided by 3 = 2
Clearly, Quantity A > Quantity B
So, Answer will be A
Hope it helps!
Watch the following video to learn the Basics of Remainders
- ‣‣‣ Remainder of any number by 5 is same as remainder of the unit's digit of that number by 5
‣‣‣ Remainder of any number by 3 is same as remainder of the sum of the digits of that number by 3
Quantity A
The remainder when 14 is divided by 5 = The remainder when 4 is divided by 5 = 4
Quantity B
The remainder when 14 is divided by 3 = The remainder when (1+4=5) is divided by 3 = 2
Clearly, Quantity A > Quantity B
So, Answer will be A
