Find the sum of the two least whole numbers such that each of the two numbers has a remainder of 1 when divided by 5 and a remainder of 2 when divided by 6.

A. 80 B. 82 C. 84 D. 86 E. 88

The correct answer is B. 82

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers are 56 and 26. Let's prove it:

56/5 = 11 and a remainder of 1

56/6 = 9 and a remainder of 2

26/5 = 5 and a remainder of 1

26/6 = 4 and a remainder of 2

56 + 26 = 82

The correct answer is B. 82
