we have to find the remainder when x is divided by 6.
wen x is divided by 2 remainder is 1 and when x is divided by 3 remainder is 0

here wen we solve this we get the value of x as 3,9,15
now both 9 and 15 when divided by 6 give the remainder as 3 but it is not posible wen x = 3

how is then this stmnt sufficient

please reply

When 3 is divided by 6, the remainder is 3.

Just adding one thing here, something that may be useful in terms of generalizing this concept to other problems. If you are ever told that "when x is divided by 2, the remainder is 1," that's the exact same thing as being told that "x is odd." (And of course, being told that "when x is divided by n, the remainder is 0" is the same as being told that "x is a multiple of n".) So in this particular problem, we are effectively being told that "x is an odd multiple of 3." Multiples of *any* odd number n will flip-flop odd to even to odd to even to odd and so on. The even ones will always be multiples of 2n; the odd ones will always yield a remainder of n when divided by 2n.

For instance, considering the remainders when multiples of 7
7 14 21 28 35 42 49 56 63 70 77 84 ...
are divided by 14, I'll get
7 0 7 0 7 0 7 0 7 0 7 0 ...

Works every time :)

here we have that x is divisible by 3 and when divided by 2 we will get the remainder 1 so for example choose the numbers for this condition = 3, 9,15,21,27,33,39.....


when we divide these numbers by 6 in every case we will get the remainder as 3.

so the answer should be 3
