Question

In a division, the divisor is 12 times the quotient and 6 times the remainder. If the remainder is 18. What is the dividend?
1. 990
2. 890
3. 950
4. 900

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 990

Given:

Remainder = 18

Divisor = 12 quotient

And, Divisor = 6 remainder

Concept Used:

Dividend = (Divisor) × (Quotient) + Remainder

Calculation:

Here, divisor = 6 × 18 = 108

12 Quotient = 108

⇒ Quotient = 108/12 = 9

Now, Dividend = (108) × (9) + 18 = 972 + 18 = 990

∴ The dividend is 990.
