If a number is divided by 3, the remainder will be 2. If the number is added by 5 and then divided by 3, then what will be the remainder?
Let the number be '$$a$$'
When $$a$$ is divided by 3, the remainder is 2 and let the quotient be $$k$$
$$=$$>Â $$a$$ = 3$$k$$ + 2
$$=$$>Â $$a$$ + 5 = 3$$k$$ + 2 + 5
$$=$$>Â $$a$$ + 5 = 3$$k$$ + 7
$$=$$>Â $$a$$ + 5 = 3$$k$$ + 6 + 1
$$=$$>Â $$a$$ + 5 = 3($$k$$+2) + 1
$$\therefore\ $$When $$a$$ + 5 is divided by 3 then the remainder is 1
Hence, the correct answer is Option B
