Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to find a number that, when divided by 2, will have a remainder.

Divisible by 2:
When a number is divisible by 2, it means that it can be divided by 2 without leaving a remainder. In other words, the remainder when dividing by 2 is always 0.

Remainder:
The remainder is the amount left over after dividing one number by another. For example, when we divide 7 by 2, the remainder is 1 because 7 divided by 2 equals 3 with a remainder of 1.

Options:
Let's analyze the given options to find the number that will have a remainder when divided by 2:

a) 4
- 4 divided by 2 equals 2 with no remainder. So, this option is not the correct answer.

b) 8
- 8 divided by 2 equals 4 with no remainder. So, this option is not the correct answer.

c) 10
- 10 divided by 2 equals 5 with no remainder. So, this option is not the correct answer.

d) 15
- 15 divided by 2 equals 7 with a remainder of 1. Therefore, this option is the correct answer.

Conclusion:
Among the given options, the only number that will have a remainder when divided by 2 is 15.

Suyash Kumar answered
To find the number by which 9 must be multiplied to get 36, we need to divide 36 by 9.

Division:
When we divide one number by another, we are essentially finding how many times the divisor can fit into the dividend. The result of division is called the quotient.

In this case, the dividend is 36 and the divisor is 9.

We can divide 36 by 9 as follows:

```
4
--------
9 | 36
36
----
0
```

Explanation:
- We start by dividing the leftmost digit of the dividend (3) by the divisor (9). Since 3 is smaller than 9, we need to "carry down" the next digit of the dividend, which is 6.
- We then divide 36 by 9, which gives us 4. This means that the number 9 can fit into 36 exactly 4 times.
- After performing the division, we find that the quotient is 4.

Answer:
Therefore, the number by which we must multiply 9 to get 36 is 4.

Jaideep Yadav answered
Total Expenses Calculation
Let's break down Virat's expenditures into two parts: the cost of the pens and the cost of the socks.
1. Cost of Pens
- Virat bought 3 pens.
- Each pen costs 15.
- Therefore, the total cost for the pens is calculated as follows:
- Total cost of pens = Number of pens x Cost per pen
- Total cost of pens = 3 x 15 = 45
2. Cost of Socks
- Virat spent 78 to buy a pair of socks.
3. Total Amount Spent
- Now, to find the total amount Virat spent altogether, we add the cost of the pens to the cost of the socks:
- Total amount spent = Cost of pens + Cost of socks
- Total amount spent = 45 + 78 = 123
Final Answer
- Therefore, the total amount Virat spent altogether is 123.
- The correct answer is option A.
This simple calculation shows how to add expenses together to find the total amount spent.

Chirag Khanna answered
Dividing 56 by 7:

To find the quotient when dividing 56 by 7, we need to divide the dividend (56) by the divisor (7). The quotient is the result of this division.

Steps to find the quotient:

1. Divide the first digit of the dividend (5) by the divisor (7). Since 5 is less than 7, we move to the next digit.

2. Bring down the second digit of the dividend (6) and divide it by the divisor (7). Since 6 is less than 7, we move to the next digit.

3. Bring down the third digit of the dividend (0) and divide it by the divisor (7). Since 0 is less than 7, we move to the next digit.

4. We have reached the end of the dividend. At this point, we have divided all the digits of the dividend by the divisor.

5. Count the number of times the divisor (7) can be evenly divided into the dividend (56). In this case, the divisor can be divided 8 times into the dividend.

6. Therefore, the quotient is 8.

Final Answer:

The quotient when dividing 56 by 7 is 8.

Given Information:
- 2 kites + 3 dolls = 96
- 1 doll = 12

Calculations:
1. Let's first find the value of a kite:
- From the first equation, 2 kites + 3 dolls = 96
- Substitute the value of 1 doll (12) into the equation:
2 kites + 3 * 12 = 96
2 kites + 36 = 96
2 kites = 60
kites = 30
2. Now, let's find the value of a doll:
- Given, 1 doll = 12

Final Calculation:
Adding the value of a kite and a doll:
kite + doll = 30 + 12 = 42
Therefore, the value of kite + doll is 42. Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Om Sengupta answered
Understanding the Problem
To find the number of non-red sweets in the given scenario, we need to analyze the information provided clearly.
Step 1: Total Sweets
- There are a total of 40 sweets packed into 4 bags.
Step 2: Sweets per Bag
- Since the sweets are packed equally into bags, we can calculate the number of sweets in each bag:
- Total sweets = 40
- Number of bags = 4
- Sweets per bag = 40 / 4 = 10 sweets per bag.
Step 3: Red Sweets in Each Bag
- It is stated that each bag contains 3 red sweets.
Step 4: Total Red Sweets
- To find the total number of red sweets in all bags, we multiply the number of red sweets per bag by the number of bags:
- Red sweets = 3 (red sweets per bag) * 4 (bags) = 12 red sweets.
Step 5: Calculating Non-Red Sweets
- Now, we can determine the total number of non-red sweets. We start with the total sweets and subtract the total red sweets:
- Non-red sweets = Total sweets - Total red sweets
- Non-red sweets = 40 - 12 = 28 non-red sweets.
Conclusion
Thus, the total number of non-red sweets altogether is 28, confirming that the correct answer is option B.
