Question

In a question divisor is two third of the dividend and two times the remainder .if the remainder is 5 find the dividend

Answer 1

Answer:

Let us assume that dividend is x

Then,

Divisor =2x/3

x=(divisor)×3 /2 ____ eqn(i)

Also, divisor =2(remainder)

Remainder given is 5

So divisor=2(5)

Divisor=10

Putting divisor 10 in eqn (i)

x=10×3/2

x=15

Hence dividend will be 15.

(@ suggestion

You could take divisor to be y for better convenience)
