A number when divided by a divisor leaves a remainder of 24. When twice the original number is divided by the same divisor, the remainder is 11. What is the value of the divisor?

A) 13
B) 59
C) 35
D) 37

Correct Answer:




D) 37

Description for Correct answer:
Let the divisor be x and quotient be y.

Then, number = xy + 24

Twice the number = 2xy + 48

Now, 2xy is completely divisible by x.

On dividing 48 by x remainder is x.

x = 48-11=37
