If (n) leaves remainder (5) when divided by (8), what will be the remainder when (n+6) is divided by (8)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (3)
Step 1: Write (n=8q+5). Step 2: (n+6=8q+11=8(q+1)+3), so the remainder is (3). Step 3: If the new sum exceeds the divisor, subtract the divisor from it.
