Question

In a division sum, the divisor is 12 times the quotient and 5 times the remainder. If the remainder is 48, then what is the dividend?

• A. 240
• B. 576
• C. 4800
• D. 4848

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

4848

$D=dq+r$

$d=12q,d=5r$

as $r=48\Rightarrow d=240$

hence $q=20$

$\therefore D=240\times 20+48=4848$
