In a division sum, the divisor 'd' is 10 times the quotient 'q' and 5 times the remainder'r'. If r = 46, the dividend will be
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct option is 3.
We know that
Dividend = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder ---- (1)
Given that Divisor = 10 times the Quotient
=> Divisor = 10Q ---- (2)
and Divisor = 5 times the remainder
=> Divisor = 5R = 5(46) = 230
Substituting divisor value in equation(2), we get, Q= 23
Substituting all values in equation (1), we get
Dividend = (230 × 23) + 46 = 5336
