Detailed Solution

Given, that any positive odd integers are of form 4q+1 or 4q+3.
We have to find the remainder of a number whose quotient is 4 and dividend is 19.
Let be any positive integer.
We know by Euclid's algorithm, that if a and b are two positive integers, there exist unique integers and satisfying,
a=bq+where 0r<b.
Take b=4 we get,
a=4q+r,0r<b.
Since 0r<4, therefore the possible remainders are 0,1,2 and 3.
So, a can be 4q,4q+1, or 4q+2or 4q+3, where q is the quotient.
Since a is odd, a cannot be 4q or 4q+2 as they are both divisible by 2.
Therefore, any odd integer is of form 4q+1 or 4q+3.
Putting the value of q=4 as given, in the odd integers,
4q+1=4×4+1
4q+1=17
Or, 4q+3=4×4+3
4q+3=19 Since the dividend is 19, the remainder is 3. Therefore, the remainder is 3.
Hence, option 4 is correct.
