The difference of two numbers is 1365. On dividing the larger number by the smaller, we get 6 as quotient and the 15 as remainder. What is the smaller number?
(a) 240 (b) 270 (c) 295 (d) 360

• smaller number=x larger number=6x+15
  6x+15-x=1365 or,5x=1350 or,x=270

• small number is=x and larger number=6x+15 so
  6x+15-x=1365 or,5x=1350 or,x=270 so smaller number=270

• let smallest number= s
  so large number l= 6s+15 because s/l=6Q+15R
  
  and it is given l-s=1365
  so, 6s+15-s=1365 => 5s=1350 and s=270
  Smaller number=s=270
