Question

If $13\times 12$ is divided by $5$, what is the remainder?

• A. $3$
• B. $1$
• C. $2$
• D. $4$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$1$

$13\times 12=156$
We know the divisibility rule for $5$: The last digit is $0$ or $5$.
So, here the last digits are not end with $0$ or $5$.
Hence subtract $1$ to the number we get $156-1=155$ is divisible by $5$.
Therefore, remainder is $1$.
