if the no.s m,n is divided by 6 then 2 and 3 are the remainders respectively. and m>n,then what will b the remainder when m-n is divided by 6?

• Ans is 5
  m=6a+2==>m=6a-6+6+2==>m=6(a-1)+8
  n=6b+3
  m-n=6(a-1)+8-(6b+3)==>6(a-1-b)+5
  So,the remainder when m-n is divided by 6 is 5

• Ans is 5.
  m=6a+2
  n=6b+3
  put any value for 'a' and 'b'(a>b)
  and find the value of 'm' and 'n' respectively.Then sub. 'n' into 'm' and then divide the result by 6 then You get the remainder as 5.
  EXAMPLE:-
  put a=4,b=2 then m=26,n=15,m-n=11,(m-n)/6=5(as a remainder).

• let two no.s 20 and 15,divide it by 6,it will give a remainder 2,3 respetvly,it also fulfil m>n,now u hv m=20 and n=15,so m-n=5, nw even when u will divide this by 6,the remainder will be 5. it may also be the 1 way 2 solve this.as i had solvd in actual xam.

• -1 m-n=6a-6b-1;m-n/6=(a-b)-1/6 dvdnd=quotient+remainder/dvsor so remainder=-1

• take m=8 and n=3
  m-n=5,
  remainder of m-n is 5.

• ans : 5
  take 38 & 33 as dummy values to solve

• both remainder will added together gives result 5..

• assume m=14;
  n=9
  14-9=5
  ans 5

• 
  Ans is 5
  So,the remainder when m-n is divided by 6 is 5

• ans is 5/6
  let m=6x+2
  n=6x+3
  m-n=5
