The remainder can never be negative.
Hence First add 7 to -17, becomes -10, again add 7 to -10 becomes -3. again adding 7 to -3 gives 4 as the remainder
And 7 is added 3 times. hence quotient is -3 and remainder 4.
A is the answer.

Quotient = 7* Divisor + remainder
-17 = 7(divisor) + remainder
0r, -17= 7*-3 + 4
so A fits the bill

Clearly Answer Is a)-3 and 4
because when -17 is dived by 7
we will take -3 as quotient then we will get +4 as remainder
because when -17 is dived by 7

The best way to do this type of question is to analyze the following statement:
A= pQ + R
where Q is the quotient and R is the remainder
We know that A=-17
And P=7
SO any number that fits in the equation is the answer.
ONly Option A satisfies the equation.
7*3+(-4)=17
Since the remainder can be negative, the positive one can be (3).

Correct Answer is A.
\(7*(-3)= -21\) (Hence quotient is -3)
\(-17-(-21)= +4\)(Hence remainder is +4)
\(7*(-3)= -21\) (Hence quotient is -3)
\(-17-(-21)= +4\)(Hence remainder is +4)

N= q.m + r
-17 = -3*7 + 4 where m is the divisor, q = quotient, r = remainder and N is the dividend.
Hence the answer is -3 and 4 option A
