Question

In a division action, the divisor is 32 times the quotient and 12 times the remainder. If the remainder is 56, what will the dividend be?
1. 14,168
2. 13,496
3. 13,446
4. 14,112

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 14,168

Given:

Divisor = 32 × Quotient

Divisor = 12 × Reminder

Formula:

Remainder formula:

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

Calculation:

Remainder = 56

Divisor = 56 × 12 = 672

Quotient = 672/32 = 21

Dividend = 21 × 672 + 56 = 14168

∴ Dividend is 14168 when remainder is 56.
