1. 1834
2. 1684
3. 1648
4. 1824

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 1824

Given:

Divisor = 8 × Quotient

Divisor = 5  × Remainder

Remainder = 24

Formula Used:

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

Calculation:

Divisor =  5 × 24 = 120

Quotient = 120/8 = 15

Dividend = 120 × 15 + 24 = 1824

∴ The dividend is 1824
