p,q,r,s is a positive integer, which means they are greater than 0.

p is divided by q, the remainder is 6.

p = a*q + 6.

where a is the quotient, q is the divisor and 6 is the remainder. And q is greater than 6.


r is divided by s, the remainder is 11.

r = b*s+11.

Where b is the quotient, s is the divisor and 11 is the remainder. And, s >11.

Minimum value of q+s =?

Minimum value of q = 7

Minimum value of s = 12.

Sum = q+s = 7+12 = 19.

Option E

Greater than 18.
