Question

In a division problem, the divisor is twenty times the quotient and five times the remainder. If remainder is 16, the number will be:

Answer 1

solution:-
The remainder = 16
So, the divisor = 16 × 5 = 80
The quotient is 1/20 of the divisor = 80/20 = 4
For any division, dividend = (divisor × quotient) + remainder
In this case :- (80 × 4) + 16
⇒ 320 + 16
= 336
So, the number is 336.  Answer.
