    Question

    When the integer n is divided by 9, the remainder is 4. What is the remainder, if 12n is divided by 9?

    A.

    5

    B.

    3

    C.

    4

    D.

    2

    Correct option is B

    Given:

    The integer n is divided by 9, the remainder is 4

    Solution:

    Number can be written in the form

    Dividend=Divisor×Quotient+RemainderDividend = Divisor\times Quotient +Remainder

    n = 9k + 4 

    Now, multiplying it by 12

    12n = 12(9k + 4)

    => 12n = 108k + 48

    => 12n = 108k + 45 + 3

    => 12n = 9(12k + 5) + 3

    So, Remainder is 3

    Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
