X, y, a, and b are positive integers. when x is divided by y, the remainder is 6. when a is divided by b, the remainder is 9. which of the following is not a possible value for y + b?

y + b > 15

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

positive integers = x, y, a, b

x divided by y then remainder = 6

a divided by b then remainder = 9

to find out

possible value for y + b

solution

we know that here when  x divided by y then remainder is 6

its mean y is greater than 6 and when a divided by b then remainder is 9

so its mean b is greater than 9

and we know remainder is less than divisor

so here y + b must be greater than = 6 + 9

y + b > 15

answer: the answer is 35%
