Question

In a division , the divisor is $12$ times the quotient and $5$ times the remainder. If the remainder is $48$ , the dividend is _____ .

• A. $240$
• B. $576$
• C. $4800$
• D. $4848$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $4848$

We know, Dividend $=$ Divisor $\times$ Quotient $+$ Remainder

Given, Divisor $=12\times$ Quotient $=5\times$ Remainder

Also, Remainder $=48$

$\Rightarrow$ Dividend $=5\times 48=240$

$\Rightarrow$ Quotient $=\frac{240}{12}=20$

Dividend $=240\times 20+48$

Thus dividend $=4848$
