Question

In a question on division the divisor is $7$ times the quotient and $3$ times the remainder. If the remainder is $28$ then what is the dividend?

• A. $1008$
• B. $1516$
• C. $1036$
• D. $2135$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$1036$

Divisor $=3$ $\times$ Remainder = 3$\times$ $28=84$
Quotient = $\frac{1}{7}\times Divisor=\frac{1}{7}\times 84=12$
$\therefore$ Dividend = Divisor $\times$ Quotient + Remainder
$=84$ $\times$ $12+28=1008+28=1036$
