Answer:

To solve this problem, we need to find the value of the divisor.

Given information:

- When the original number is divided by the divisor, the remainder is 15.

- When twice the original number is divided by the same divisor, the remainder is 8.

Let's represent the original number as 'x' and the divisor as 'd'.

Step 1: Set up the equations based on the given information.

Original number divided by divisor leaves a remainder of 15:

x = d × q + 15, where q is the quotient.

Twice the original number divided by the same divisor leaves a remainder of 8:

2x = d × p + 8, where p is the quotient.

Step 2: Solve for the divisor 'd'.

From the first equation, we can express the original number 'x' in terms of the divisor 'd':

x = d × q + 15

Substituting this into the second equation:

2x = 2(d × q + 15) = d × (2q) + 30 = d × p + 8

Equating the coefficients of 'd':

2q = p

2q - p = 0

p = 2q

Substituting p = 2q into the second equation:

2(d × q + 15) = d × (2q) + 8

2dq + 30 = 2dq + 8

22 = 22

d = 22

Therefore, the value of the divisor is 22.

The correct answer is d) 22.
