Question

When a number $P$ is divided by $4$ it leaves remainder $3$ if the twice of the number $P$ is divided by the same divisor $4$ than what will the remainder?

• A. $0$
• B. $1$
• C. $2$
• D. $6$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$2$

$⟹P=4K+3$

where, $K$ is the quotient, when $P$ is divided by $4$.

$Q=2P=8K+6$

When $2P$ is divided by $4$.

$\Rightarrow \frac{Q}{4}=\frac{8K+6}{4}$

We get $2$ as a remainder

Hence, option C
