When you see such problems always get an arbitrary initial number.
Here the number leaves a reminder of 3 when divided by both 11 and 19.
Hence, the first such number will be the LCM of (11 and 19) + 3 = 212.
Now, when 212 is divided by 11,the quotient is 19 and reminder is 3.
Hence y is 19.
Therefore,the reminder when 19 is divided by 19 is 0.
Answer A
