a long wire of some length is cut into small pieces of 216 cm, leaves a small piece of length of 89 cm. if this part were cut into equal pieces each of 18 cm, the length of the leftover wire would be

(a) 19               (b) 27

(c) 17               (d) 34 

Divide 89 by 18. The remainder will be the leftover.
