The difference of two numbers is 1365. On dividing the larger number by the smaller, we get 6 as quotient and the 15 as remainder. What is the smaller number ?
Choose the correct choice from the following
A) 275  B) 270  C) 279  D) 263  E) 271
Let the smaller number be x. Then larger number = (x + 1365).   x + 1365 = 6x + 15   5x = 1350   x = 270   Smaller number = 270.   Answer is 270.
