The difference of two numbers is 1365. On dividing the larger number by the smaller, we get 6 as quotient and 15 as remainder. What is the smaller number?  Choose the correct choice:  A) 240  B) 270  C) 295  D) 360  E) 365
Let the smallest number be x.   Then larger number = (x + 1365)   x + 1365 = 6x + 15   = 5x = 1350   x = 270   Smaller number = 270.   ANSWER:270
