Remainder equation can be written as follow:
A = 3B + 0.45B (Y= AX + Remainder ; 7 =2x3 +1 )
since your remainder is 0.45b , and b is an integer
You have to check whether 0.45B=Integer and make sure that B is an integer
B = Integer / 0.45 = 100 Integer / 45 = 20 Integer / 9
So any answer choice that is not divisible with 9 is the correct answer
Hence, A
