Hi Sanju,

The answer should be A.

1. Any number divided by 100 leaves the remainder which is the last 2 digit of those no. e.g 167, 267, 367 divided by 100, remainder is 67. Ten's digit is 6.

2. 110. By plugging its tough to find one answer. 140 , 250, 360 all divided by 110 gives 30 as remainer.
