The correct answer is: 34 but not by 14

Given,

25190-19190-8190+2190

Now  25190-19190, 8190, 2190 are divisible by 2, as 25190 will give remainder as 1 and 19190 will give remainder as 1 when divided by 2, so combined 25190-19190 will give remainder 0 

Now, 25190-8190 & -19190+2190 are divisible by 17an-bn is divisible by a-b if n is even, 
So given number is divisible by 34 as it is divisible by 2 & 17 both,

Now,25190=7×3+4190, dividing by 7 we get,

7×3+4190=4190=1695=295=4·831

Now when 4·7+131 divided by 7 will give remainder as 4·1=4

And 19190=7×3-2190, when divided by 7 we get,

7×3-2190=-2190=2190=2×863=2×7+163

So, when 2×7+163 divided by 7 will give remainder as 2

Similarly 8190=7+1190 will give 1 remainder 

And 2190=27+163 will give 1 remainder,

So combining all we get,25190-19190-8190+2190=4-2-1+1=5
Not divisible by 7, so it will not be divisible by 14
