Consider a polynomial f ( x ) when it is divided by ( x − 9 1 ) it gives a remainder of 1 9 and when divided by ( x − 1 9 ) it gives a remainder 9 1 .
Suppose it gives the remainder a x + b when divided by ( x − 9 1 ) ( x − 1 9 ) where a and b are constant then what is the value of b ?

In this way you can also generalize it for any number p and q instead of 9 1 and 1 9 also. See here for more details
f ( 9 1 ) = 1 9 , f ( 1 9 ) = 9 1 ⟹ 1 9 a + b = 9 1 , 9 1 a + b = 1 9 ⟹ a = − 1 , b = 1 1 0 .
Good see this for general case here
a = − 1 for any values regardless of 19 and 91.

Is it? Really? What if f ( a ) = p x + q = r , f ( b ) = r x + s = p , q = s ?

Since a x + b is the remainder of f ( x ) when divided by ( x − 9 1 ) ( x − 1 9 ) , we can write
f ( x ) f ( 9 1 ) f ( 1 9 ) ( 1 ) − ( 2 ) : ( 9 1 − 1 9 ) a ⟹ a ( 2 ) : − 9 1 + b ⟹ b = ( x − 9 1 ) ( x − 1 9 ) + a x + b = 9 1 a + b = 1 9 = 1 9 a + b = 9 1 = 1 9 − 9 1 = − 1 = 1 9 = 1 1 0 . . . ( 1 ) . . . ( 2 )
Generalization: We can generalize this by replacing 9 1 and 1 9 by p and q . Then we have:
