Question

In a division sum, the divisor is 6 times the quotient and 4 times the remainder. If the remainder is 3, then the dividend is

• A. 24
• B. 27
• C. 30
• D. 40

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 27

Solution: Let the divisor be d, quotient Q, and the remainder is given to be 3. Given, d = 3 × 4 = 12 Also given that d = 6 × Q ⇒ 12 = 6 × Q ⇒ Q = 2 We know that Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder Hence, Dividend = 12 × 2 + 3 = 27
