Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The problem requires finding the remainder rr when dividing aa by bb using the formula a=bq+ra = bq + r, where qq is the quotient and r<br < b.


For a=112,b=7a = 112, b = 7:

112÷7=16112 \div 7 = 16 with no remainder

112=7×16+0112 = 7 \times 16 + 0

Therefore r=0r = 0, which matches with (IV)


For a=118,b=9a = 118, b = 9:

9×13=1179 \times 13 = 117

118−117=1118 - 117 = 1

118=9×13+1118 = 9 \times 13 + 1

Therefore r=1r = 1, which matches with (I)


For a=119,b=6a = 119, b = 6:

6×19=1146 \times 19 = 114

119−114=5119 - 114 = 5

119=6×19+5119 = 6 \times 19 + 5

Therefore r=5r = 5, which matches with (III)


For a=115,b=8a = 115, b = 8:

8×14=1128 \times 14 = 112

115−112=3115 - 112 = 3

115=8×14+3115 = 8 \times 14 + 3

Therefore r=3r = 3, which matches with (II)


Final matching:

(A) a=112,b=7a = 112, b = 7r=0r = 0(IV)
(B) a=118,b=9a = 118, b = 9r=1r = 1(I)
(C) a=119,b=6a = 119, b = 6r=5r = 5(III)
(D) a=115,b=8a = 115, b = 8r=3r = 3(II)

The correct answer is: (A) - (IV), (B) - (I), (C) - (III), (D) - (II)
