Question

The number which when divided by 53 gives 8 as quotient and 5 as remainder is

(a) 424 (b) 419 (c) 429 (d) None of these

Answer 1

Here, Divisor = 53, Quotient = 8 and Remainder = 5.
Now, using the relation Dividend = Divisor $\text{×}$ Quotient + Remainder, we get
Dividend = 53 $\text{×}$ 8 + 5
= 424 + 5
=429
Thus, the required number is 429.
Hence, the correct option is (c).
