Hi burgess,

There are a couple of problems with this question. First, it's NOT a GMAT question. Second, this question seems incomplete. To calculate a remainder, we need to have some idea of what we're "dividing by."

Hi Bhoopendra,

I'm not sure that we can assume that "proportional remainders" necessarily means comparing the 2 ratios that you compared in your solution.
Also, we typically don't use the word "remainder" to denote the difference between two values.

On a different note (to burgess), if this were a (better written) GMAT question, there would be 5 answer choices, so it would be easy to simply test the options. I'm assuming that you aren't actually preparing for the GMAT. Is that correct?

Cheers,
Brent
