there are a no. of chocolates in a bag.if they were equally divided among 14 children,there are 10 chocolates left.if they were to be equally divided among 15 children,there are 8 chocolates left.obviously,this can be satisfied if any multiple of 210 chocolates are added to the bag.What is the remainder when the minimum feasible number of chocolates in the bag is divided by 9

14*2=28+left 10=38
15*2=30+left 8=38
210+38=248
=248/9=27qu and 5 remainder

i think that they are asking for wat will be the remainder wen min num of chocos left in the bag devided by 9. in this case ans should be 38%9=2.
plz give ur feedback i may be wrong.

how both the quotients are taken as y1? an number when divided by 14 and 15 will not give the same quotient ryt?

let x be the total number of chocolates
14*y1+10=x
15*y1+8=x
so the y1 is 2 and x=38
now 38 % 9 = 2 Ans

14x+10=15y+8
x,y are whole numbers so 0,1 not possible. x=y=2 by common sense. Hence 38%9=2

total=38+210
so,238/9=26 4/9

38 chocolates 14*2 10 left
38 chocs 15*2 8 left
210+38 = 248 / 9
remainder = 5

y=14*x+10
y=15*x+8
solve
x=2;
y=38
(210+38)%9=5
