Question

In a division action, the divisor is 8 times the quotient and 9 times the remainder. If the remainder is 24, what will the dividend be?
1. 5,858
2. 5,820
3. 5,856
4. 5,824

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 5,856

Given 

Remainder = 24 

Formula Used 

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder 

Calculation 

Divisor = 9 × 24 = 216 

Quotient = Divisor/8 = 216/8 = 27 

Dividend = 216 × 27 + 24 = 5856 

∴ The required answer is 5,856
