So, we can write: A/B = 4 35/100 = 435/100 So, one possible case is that A = 435 and B = 100 When we divide 435 by 100, the remainder is 35 Unfortunately 35 is NOT one of the answer choices.
Now let's examine some fractions that are EQUIVALENT to 435/100 For example, 435/100 = 87/20 (= 4.35) In other words, A = 87 and B = 20 In this case, when we divide A by B, the remainder is 7 Unfortunately 7 is NOT one of the answer choices.
Find another fraction EQUIVALENT to 435/100 How about 174/40 (= 4.35) In other words, A = 174 and B = 40 In this case, when we divide A by B, the remainder is 14 Aha, 14 IS one of the answer choices!!

When positive integer A is divided by positive integer B, the result is 4.35
\(\frac{A}{B}\) = 4.35 => A = B*4.35 = B *(4 + 0.35) => A = B*4 + B*0.35 => A when divided by B gives 4 as Quotient and 0.35B as remainder
=> B *0.35 is an integer Remainder = B * \(\frac{35}{100}\) = B * \(\frac{7}{20}\) = \(\frac{B}{20}\) * 7 => Remainder is a multiple of 7 Only, option choice possible is 14
So, Answer will be B Hope it helps!
