The positive integers a and b leave remainders of 2 and 3, respectively, when divided by 6. a > b.
What is the remainder when a – b is divided by 6?
Choose the correct option
A) 4 B) 3 C) 5 D) 2 E) 1

Rationale: let ' s test out some values of m and n that satisfy the given information . a leaves are remainder of 2 when divided by 6 so , a could equal 8 b leaves are remainder of 3 when divided by 6 so , b could equal 3 what is the remainder when a – b is divided by 6 ? so , a - b = 8 - 3 = 5 , and when we divide 5 by 6 , we get 0 with remainder 5 answer : c
Answer: C
