common remainders between the 2 are, 0,1,2,3, dont forget 0, its still a remainder.

if integer n leaves the same remainder r when divided by both 4 and 11 then

1. 0 common remainder
LCM = 44
under 100 numbers that fall in this cat = 44 and 88

2. commo remainder 1: 1, 45 and 89

3: common remainder 2: 2, 46, 90

4. common remainder 3, 3,47,91

for each possible remainder we add 1 to the digits
total 11 numbers answer D

Remanider has to be same when dividing 4 and 11

let common remainder be r, only allowing 4 remainders

0,1,2,3

LCM of 11,4=44

We are looking for numbers that satisfy n=44k+r
where r=0,1,2,3

k=0, values are 0,1,2,3
k=1, values are 44,45,46,47
k=2, 88,89,90,91
k=3 not counted

total- 3+4+4=11
Answer D

To solve this I did found multiples of the least common multiple of 4 and 11 which is 44. The multiples of 44 less than 100 are 44 and 88.

Then I found numbers that when divided by 44 would have remainders of 1, 2, and 3 stopping at 3 because a number with a remainder of 4 would be divisible by 4 for a remainder of 0 which is already covered in the multiples of 44 any other numbers divisible by 4 would not have the same remainder when divided by 11.

r=0 -> 44,88
r=1 -> 1, 45, 89
r=2 -> 2, 46, 90
r=3 -> 3, 47, 91

This gives 11 answers so the answer is D.

it is of utmost importance that you note that a no. divided by 4 can only leave 0,1,2 or 3 as a remainder. Moving further, we must look for common multiples of both 4 and 11, as only these no.s will result in a remainder 0 when divided by 4 and 11 both. so only 0, 44 and 88 will result in 0, and as for cyclicity of remainders the no.s following like 1,2, and 3 for 0,and 45,46, and 47 for 44 and henceforth will have same remainders. Therefore, we get 12 such integers, but the question is asking us only positive integers, so 0 must be discarded.

Here's how I did this

From 1-10, the only numbers that will give the same remainders for both will be the ones less than 4 so 1,2,3
After this, the same remainders will happen at a common multiple, and since 4 has a cyclicity in remainders of 4 (0,1,2,3) there will be 4 numbers such
First common multiple for both is 44. Therefore, 44, 45, 46, 44,45,46,47 will give the same remainders to both
Second 88, giving 88,89,90, and 91

Threfore in total 3+4+4 = 11 numbers

First we take LCM of 4 and 11. --> 44
Now, since 4 and 11 are divisors but 4 is smaller. So it becomes the limiting factor.
4 as divisor will have 4 remainders only -> 0,1,2,3
Now, for any number less than 100, possible values that give remainder 0 will be = 44, 88
Similarly, for remainder 1 = 45, 89
Remainder 2 = 46,90
Rem 3 = 47, 91
So total possible values = 8

In this question just check the LCM of (4,11) which is 44 so the type of number would be 44k and 'k' here would be a whole number. The numbers around the common multiples would give same remainder.

0 would be first number since we have only positive numbers to consider we will start with 1
1 - first number to check
44 - second number to check
88 - another number

Starting with 0;
remainder with

The remainder on division by 4 can only be 0,1,2,3, so the common remainder r can only be 1 of these.

Since 4 &11 are coprime, the numbers should be of the form 44k+r

r=0 -> 44, 88
r=1 -> 1, 45, 89
r=2 -> 2, 46, 90
r=3 -> 3, 47, 91

Total = 2+3+3+3 = 11

Ans : D

First start with 4 which has 4 potential remainders that is 1,2,3 that apply to 11 as well
Then we look at the LCM of 11 and 4 which 44 and 88 its multiple. Any number above the LCM and multiple by the remainder of 1,2 and 3 also fits so we have 45,46,47 and 89,90,91 (Remember 44 and 88 also qualify although they give a remainder of 0)
Total is 3+3+3+2= 11

IMO : 11
since we need those numbers which have the same remainder when divided by either 4 or 11 and should also we less than 100.
eqn 1 ---> N = 4k +r
eqn 2 ---> N = 11k +r
now we can take the l.c.m here since the number is same
therefore common number will be written as -----> N = 44k +r
now since out of 4 and 11 the smaller number is 4 so lets check its remainder firse --- if n=1, r=1
if n=2, r=2
if n=3, r =3


so here we have realised the possible remainders which can be common for both
therefore
case 1 : r=0
N =44,88
case 2 : r=1
N =1,45,89
case 3: r=2
N = 2,46,90
case 4: r=3
N =3, 47, 91
therefore all possible numbers = 2+3+3+3=11

To begin with, the range we are looking at is 1 to 99. At the start, when we divide 1,2,3 with either 4 or 11, we will get remainders as 1,2,3. So these three are our favorable cases.
Then the cases where the remainder of any number divided by 4 or 11 will be 0 are the LCM(4,11) and its multiples. Under 99, there are only two such numbers = 44 and 88. Both these numbers, when divided by either 4 or 11, will have a remainder of 0.
Similar to 1,2,3, the numbers 45,46,47 and 89,90,91 will have a remainder of 1,2,3 when divided by either 4 or 11, which is logical considering both 11 and 4 leave a remainder of 0 when 44 and 88 are divided by these. If 1 is added to 44 (i.e. the number is 45), both 4 and 11 will leave 1 as remainder, same is the case with 46 and 47. But when it comes to 48, when it is divided by 4, it will leave 0 as remainder but when divided by 11, it will leave a remainder of 4. Hence, not a valid case.

So, all the valid numbers for us are 1,2,3,44,45,46,47,88,89,90,91. Hence 11 numbers/integers.

The answer is 11.
The remainders when divided by 4 are 0,1,2,3 only.
Since n/4 and n/11 have same remainders.. we can take their LCM viz 44.
So now,
n=44q+R
put q=0,
we obtain 1,2,3
put q=1,
we obtain 44,45,46,47
put q=2,
we obtain 88,89,90,91
beyond q=2 the values are all greater than 100.
So the answer is
4+4+3=11

I just tried the trial and error method
If the remainder when a number less than 100 is leaves the same remainder when divided by 4 and when divided by 11, I started with remainder 1 - In such case the number will be 1, 44+1, 88+1 = 3 Values

If the remainder is 2 - the number will be 2, 44+2, 88+2 = 3 values (any further values will be greater than 100)

If the remainder is 3 - the number will be 3, 44+3, 88+3 = 3 values

Since in all the above cases - 44 and 88 are the only 2 numbers which are less than 100 and are exactly divisible by 4 and 11 - the remainder is 0 - So total 2 values

Hence 2+ 9 = 11 Values - Option D

Possible remainders upon division by 4: 0,1,2,3

4 and 11 are coprimes, so the integers are:

n = 4*11*k + r = 44k + r, being k an integer

If n<100, then k=0,1,2

k=0:
n = r, so n=1,2,3 (n cannot be 0 as only positive numbers are valid)

k=1:
n = 44 + r, so n=44,45,46,47

k=2:
n = 88 + r, so n=88,89,90,91

n = 1,2,3,44,45,46,47,88,89,90,91

11 values

The answer is D.11
When you divide by four, the remainder can only be 0, 1,2 or 3. So the shared remainder has to be one of those four values. Call it R.
If a number leaves remainder r when divided by 4, and also leaves remainder r when divided by 11, then subtracting r from that number gives something divisible by 4 and by 11. Since 4 and 11 sure no common factor, the result must be divisible by 44.
So every qualifying number has the form of 44 times some whole number, plus r.
Now count the ones below 100.
When r is 0, the numbers are 44 and 88. 0 itself does not count because we want positive integers. That gives two numbers.
When r is 1, the numbers are 1, 45, 89. That gives three numbers. Note that one really does work, since 1 divided by 4 leaves 1, and 1 divided by 11 also leaves 1.
When r is 2, the numbers are 2, 46, 90. That gives three numbers.
When r is 3, the numbers are 3, 47, 91. That gives three numbers.
Adding up them: 2+3+3+3 = 11

The common remainder must be 0, 1, 2, and 3. (only possible remainders while dividing by 4).

Common remainder = R

As the LCM is a multiple of 4 and 11. Then Numbers (N) - R must be divisible by both 4 and 11.

--> N = 44K + R

Values for N < 100 are:

R = 0 --> N = 44, 88 (2 values)
R = 1 --> N = 1, 45, 89 (3 values)
R = 2, --> N = 2, 46, 90 (3 values)
R = 3 --> N = 3, 47, 91 (3 values)

Total = 11

Answer: (D) 11
