A: The sum of the integers is a multiple of 11, and the sum of the integers is a multiple of 16. The sum of the integers is 16, but the remainders when divided by the integers are 9, so b+d cannot be 15. The answer is (E).
Answer the following multiple choice question with options (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) by reasoning step-by-step.
Q:h, b, c, and d are positive integers. If the remainder is 9 when h is divided by b, and the remainder is 5 when c is divided by d, which of the following is NOT a possible value for b + d? Answer Choices: A) 20 B) 19 C) 18 D) 16 E) 15
