A divisor is 15 times the quotient and 3 times the remainder. If the remainder is 40, find the dividend.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 1000
D = 15 × Q.
D = 3 × R
Let Q = q then D = 15q and R = 5q.
R = 5q = 40
q = 8.
Dividend = Divisor × quotient + Rem
Dividend = 15 × 8 × 8 + 40
= 960 + 40
= 1000.
