Always borrow money from a pessimist, he doesn't expect to be paid back.

"When positive integer n is divided by 7, there is a remainder of 2."
Integer
(Quotient) X
7
(Divisor)
+ 2
(Remainder)
= n
(Dividend)
0 X 7 + 2 = 2
1 X 7 + 2 = 9
2 X 7 + 2 = 16
3 X 7 + 2 = 23
then why is 0 included here as a positive number?

Hi Hari_study,
0 is NOT a positive number; 0 is what is called a "null value" - meaning neither positive nor negative.
We're told that N is a POSITIVE INTEGER, so we have to think about the all of the possible values for N. In this case, the first/smallest value for N would be 2....
2/7 = 0 r 2
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
