d is a factor of 30(34-4) and 36 (38-2).
d is a factor of HCF(30,36)=6, which is greater than 4.
d=6
k is a factor of 36 (41-5) and 45.
k is a factor of HCF(36,45)=9, which is greater than 7.
k=9
d+k = 15

----ASIDE----------------
When positive integer N is divided by positive integer D, the remainder R is such that 0 ≤ R < D
For example, if we divide some positive integer by 7, the remainder will be 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, or 0
-----------------------------
If 34 divided by d leaves a reminder of 4, then (according to the above property), d > 4
If 36 divided by d leaves a reminder of 0, then d is a divisor of 36.
The divisors of 36 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 24 and 36
Since we already know that d > 4, d must be 6, 9, 12, 24 or 36. Let's test these five possible d-values
If d = 6, then 34, 36, and 38 divided by d leaves reminders 4, 0, and 2, respectively. PERFECT!!
At this point, we can stop examining other possible values of d (since the answer choices tell us there can be only one correct answer)
So d = 6
If 43 divided by k leaves a reminder of 7, then (according to the above property), k > 7
If 45 divided by k leaves a reminder of 0, then k is a divisor of 45.
The divisors of 45 are: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15 and 45
Since we already know that k > 7, k must be 9, 15 or 45. Let's test these three possible k-values
If k = 9, then 41, 43, and 45 divided by d leaves reminders 5, 7, and 0, respectively. PERFECT!!
So k = 9
What is the value of d + k?
d + k = 6 + 9 = 15
Answer: B
