Question

In a division sum the divisor is 5 times the quotient and twice the remainder. If the remainder is 5, what is the number

Answer 1

Given :  

In a division sum, the divisor is 5 times the quotient and twice the remainder. If the remainder is 5

To Find:

what is the number?

Solution:

Finding the divisor:

we know that Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder.

The remainder is given as 5.

the divisor is twice the remainder, so 2x5 = 10

Hence, the divisor is 10.

Finding the quotient:

It is given that the divisor is 5 times the quotient.

divisor = 5quotient

10 = 5quotient

quotient = 10/5

quotient = 2

Now, Finding the number:.

Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder

=> Number = 10 * 2  +  5

=> Number = 20 + 5

=> Number = 25

Hence, The number is 25
