    be the remainder if this number is divided by 12?
    A 8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the number be (84x + 25)

    We know that 84 is divisible by 12, so 84x will be divisible by 12 as well.

    25 = 12 × 2 + 1

    Remainder when 25 is divided by 12 = 1

    So, required remainder = 1
