Answer / abhi

9+5a=9,14,19,.....194.
11+3b=11,14,17.......197
for the numbers to be common
(1.)9+5a=9+11+3b

(2.)5a-3b=2
for integral solutions of a,b the step size of a and b is
3 and 5 respectively .

a=1,4,7,10.....so on.
b=1,6,11,16.....so on.

now substitute values back to equation 1.
we get the answer.(this is solution using properties of
graph and step size)
