Question

When a number is divided by $4$, the result is $-9$. The number is

• A. $36$
• B. $-36$
• C. $\frac{1}{36}$
• D. $\frac{-1}{36}$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$-36$

Let the required number be $x$

According to the question, $\frac{x}{4}=-9$
$⟹x=-9\times 4$ ...(Multiply both sides by $4$)
$⟹x=-36$

So, option B is correct.
