When a no is divided by 31 the remainder is 29. Wen the same no is divided by 16, the remainder will be:

9
11
13
15
Data not sufficient

IMO choice E.

Let x be the number, we can get x=31n+29. Since 31 is an odd number, 31n could be odd or even (it's odd when n is odd, it's even when n is even). So 31n+29 can be either odd or even. We can easily deduct: when odd numbers are divided by even number 16, there must be remainders; when even numbers are divided by 16, remainders could be 0. So data not sufficient.

Another way is to try with real numbers.
When n=1, remainder of (31n+29)/16 is 12;
When n=2, remainder of (31n+29)/16 is 11.
So data not sufficient.

Great thank you. OA is correct.

There is another way to look at it:

Number = 31q+29
If 31q was having some common factor a multiple of 16 we know the remainder, here we cant so E
