    • B. 45
    • C. 15
    • D. 60
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    Since 357 = 3 × 119, and the remainder is 45 when divided by 357, the number can be written as 357k + 45. When divided by 119, remainder = 45 (since 45 < 119).

    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    Let CP = 100. MP = 140. SP after 20% discount = 80% of 140 = 112. Gain = 112 - 100 = 12. Gain% = 12%.
