When a is divided by b the remainder is 13.When c is divided by d the remainder is 12.
If a,b,c,d are all positive integers then which of these may be the value of b+d?  Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 23
B) 24
C) 25
D) 26
E) 27
In the original question, we're told that, when a is divided by b the remainder is 13   So, b must be greater than 13.   In other words, b COULD equal 14, 15, 16, 17, ....   We're also told that, c is divided by d the remainder is 12   So, d must be greater than 12.   In other words, d COULD equal 13, 14, 15, 16, ....   So, the smallest possible value of b+d is 14+13   In other words, b+d COULD equal 27   Answer:27
