Question

lf a % b = 37, where a % b = a + 2b, what is the value of a and b?

• A. 25, 5
• B. 27, 5
• C. 16,10
• D. 27, 10

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 27, 5

Given:

a % b = a + 2b

and

a % b = 37

So,

a + 2b = 37

This equation has many possible values of (a) and (b).

For example:

• If (b = 10),
  a = 37 - 20 = 17

So one possible pair is:

$\boxed{a = 17,\ b = 10}$

(Any pair satisfying (a + 2b = 37) is correct.)

Ans = (27,5)
