Question

In a division sum, we have dividend = 199, quotient = 16 and remainder = 7. The divisor is
(a) 11
(b) 23
(c) 12
(d) none of these

Answer 1

(c) 12

Dividend = 199
Quotient = 16
Remainder = 7
According to the division algorithm, we have:
Dividend = divisor × quotient + remainder
⇒ 199 = divisor × 16 + 7
⇒ 199 − 7 = divisor × 16
⇒ Divisor = 192 ÷ 16
