47.
In a division sum, the divisor is 10 times the quotient and 5 times the remainder. If the remainder is 46, what is the dividend ?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Divisor = (5 x 46) = 230
 10 x Quotient = 230  = |
230 | = 23 |
| 10 |
Dividend = (Divisor x Quotient) + Remainder
= (230 x 23) + 46
= 5290 + 46
= 5336.

Reminder is 46.
Let the quotient is x. Then divisor is 10x.
Let the reminder is y. Then Divisor is 5y.
According to question, 10x=5y.
Then y=2x.
Given y=46. Then x=23.
Quotient=23.
Divisor=230.
Reminder=46.
Then the dividend is;
= (divisor * quotient) + reminder.
= (230 * 23) + 46.
= 5290 + 46.
= 5336 (ans).
