Question

In a division operation the divisor is $5$ times the quotient and twice the remainder. If the remainder is $15,$ then what is the dividend?

• A. $175$
• B. $185$
• C. $195$
• D. $205$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$195$

$Divisor=(2\times 15)=30$

$\therefore 5\times Quotient=30$

$\Rightarrow Quotient=\frac{30}{5}=6$

We know that,

$Dividend=(Divisor\times Quotient)+Remainder$

$=(30\times 6)+15=180+15=195.$
