When positive integer x is divided by 7 the quotient is q and the remainder is 1. What is the remainder when x is divided by 10? (1) When x is divided by 5 the quotient is q and the remainder is 1 (2) x is less than 50 ----------------------------- I got the correct answer but took quite a while. I listed out all the possible value of x and realize remainder when x is divided by 10 has to be 1. Any other faster method? 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43, 50, 57, 64, 71, 78, 85 6, 11, 16, 21, 26, 31, 36, 41, 46, 56, 61, 71

from the ques stem we know-
x= 7q + 1
from 1) x = 5q + 1
subtracting we get x =1. hence when we divide x i.e. 1 by 10 we get remainder 1. sufficient.
stmt 2 is clearly insufficient. lots of possible values for x.

stmt 2 is clearly insufficient. lots of possible values for x. You don't get x=1 when you subract, you'd get 0=2q....also when you divide 1 by 10 the remainder is 10..

N=7q+1
N=5q+1
Therefore: N=35X +1
The remeinder could be 1 or 6. for Example if X=0 then the remeinder is 1, but when X=1 then the remeinder is 6.

The remeinder could be 1 or 6. for Example if X=0 then the remeinder is 1, but when X=1 then the remeinder is 6. Precisely what i thought but from Question stem and St 1 we have but note that it is for the same value of q that we get the remainder 1 x= 7q+1 and x=5q+1 -------> For the same value of q Also 7q+1=5q+1 --------> 2Q=0 or q=0 Thus the number is 1 and when divided by 10 the remainder is 1 only. Ans A is correct if the Question would have stated x= 7q+1 and x=5a+1 then x= 35C+1 and possible value of x = 1,36,71, 106,141..... then even taking statement 2 the answer would be E. The Question stem needs to mention that x is a 2 digit number. Hope it helps

(1) When x is divided by 5 the quotient is q and the remainder is 1
(2) x is less than 50
-----------------------------
I got the correct answer but took quite a while. I listed out all the possible value of x and realize remainder when x is divided by 10 has to be 1. Any other faster method?
8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43, 50, 57, 64, 71, 78, 85
6, 11, 16, 21, 26, 31, 36, 41, 46, 56, 61, 71 For the 2 values highlighted in bold, the remainders will be 6 and 1 respectively. You need to consider 1 as well the possible value of x....here's why x=7q+1 when q=0, x=1 q=1,x=8 Similarly x =5q+1, q=0, x=1 q=2,,x=6....and so on

From the question stem, x =7q+1. F.S 1 states that x = 5q+1. Thus, we know that 7q+1=5q+1 --> q=0.Note that q is also an integer. Thus, x=1.Remainder when 1 is divided by 10 is 1. Sufficient. F.S 2 for x=8, remainder when divided by 10 is 8.However, when x=15,the remainder when x is divided by 10 is 5. 2 different numerical values, hence Insufficient. A. AccipiterQ wrote: when you divide 1 by 10 the remainder is 10.. Nope . This is incorrect.

stmt 2 is clearly insufficient. lots of possible values for x. You don't get x=1 when you subract, you'd get 0=2q....also when you divide 1 by 10 the remainder is 10.. Hi, I meant if you subtract these equations you get q =0. Now put q =0 in any equation and you will get x =1. Hence the no is 1. Now when you divide x (which is 1) by 10, you will get remainder 1. Sorry for the confusion.

Hi, Full solution to avoid any confusion- x= 7q + 1 from 1) x = 5q + 1 Now subtracting these two equations yields q =0. Now put q=0 in any equation and you will get x=1. hence the no is 1. Now if we divide x (which is nothing but 1) we will remainder as 1.

Stmt 1 made it so simple that I assumed there must be typo in the question and solved with x=5p+1 and got C as the answer  if x = 7q+1 and x=5q+1 only value that q can take is ZERO!!! How can stmt 1 be so simple

Hi, IMO C. Please correct me if I am wrong. from stmt 1: x = 7q+1 and x=5q+1 which leads to .. x=35Q+36 as the general formula. hence multiple values of x will satisfy this. 36, 71, 106 .. you cannot say if the remainder will be 1 or 6. from stmt2 x < 50 .. not sufficient. from stmt1 and stmt 2 .. x can be only 36. Hence C.

x= 7q + 1
from 1) x = 5q + 1
subtracting eqn 1 from given, we get x =1. hence when we divide x i.e. 1 by 10 we get remainder 1. Sufficient.
stmt 2 is clearly insufficient.
Hence, A

So, from the question stem \(\frac{x}{7}\) = q remainder 1. Or x = 7q+1 which means when q=0 then x = 1. And when q=5, then x =36. And from statement (1) \(\frac{x}{5}\) = q remainder 1. Or x=5q+1 Thus from this statement if q=0 then x = 1 and if q=7 then x =36 Now, what students are doing incorrectly is assuming since x = 1 and x=36 so they are marking this as insuff. "the quotient is q" in the question stem and "the quotient is q" in statement (1) are of the same value. So when x=1, then q = 0 both in question stem and statement (1). But when x=36, then q = 5 in the question stem and q = 7 in statement (1), so q is not of the same value, and we can ignore x = 36 as a valid solution and only take x = 1 as a valid solution. And of course x=1 divided by 10 leaves remainder of 1.
