m,n divided by 6 gives remainder 2 and 3 respectively where m>n.When m-n divided by 6 gives what remainder?

• m=6p+2
  n=6q+3
  m-n=6(p-q)-1
  6-1=5
  ans:5

• m=6*k1+2
  n=6*k2+3
  
  m-n=6*(k1-k2)-1= 6*k-1 (where k=k1-k2)
  therefore, m-n=6*(k-1)+(6-1)
  
  Quotient=6*(k1-k2-1)
  Remainder =6-1=5

• take m=14,n=9;then m-n=5 so remainder 5

• ansr is 5
  bcz..
  when m=8 and n=3
  so m%6=2 nd n%6=3...so diffrn(m-n) is 5
