X and Y are both positive integers. If x-3 can be divided by 5 and y can be divided by 2, what is remainder when XY is divided by 10 ?
1. The remainder is 3 when X is divided by 3
2. The remainder is 2 when Y is divided by 5
Ans: B
Info given in question stem only : x-3 is divisible by 5 and y is divisible by 2
Stat 1) X= 3I+ 3 and from the stem we know that X-3 is divisible by 5 so means x leaves a reminder when divided by 5. from these we can say that x leaves a reminder of 3 when both divided by 3 and 5 so x will be an int which leaves reminder of 3 when divided by 5 or 3 so x= 15I + 3 = 18, 33, 48,63...
and y = 2,4,6,8,10... so xy when divided by 10
x y xy/10 reminder
18 2 36/10 6
18 4 72/10 2
(Not Suff)
Stat 2) when y divided by 5 reminder is 2 so y= 5I+2 and also from the stem y= 2I so y will be 12,22,32,42 and x from the stem is 8, 13, 18,23,...
x y xy/10 reminder
8 12 96/10 6
8 22 176/10 6
13 12 156/10 6
(Suff)
ans: B
