Let 'N' is the smallest number which divided by 13 and 16 leaves respective remainders of 2 and 5.Required number = (LCM of 13 and 16) - (common difference of divisors and remainders) = (208) - (11) = 197.
Let the first number be x and the second number be y.∴ y² = 82 - 15 = 64 - 15 = 49∴ y = 7∴ x² + 73 = 568= x² + 343 = 568= x² + 568 - 343 = 225∴ x = √225 = 15∴ 15 x 3/5 = 9
