Question

in a question on division with zero remainder a candidate took 12as divisor instead of21.the quotient obtained by him was 35?find the correct quotient??

Answer 1

The Remainder theorem we have is
Number = Quotient x Divisor + Remainder
Here remainder = 0
So, Number = Quotient x Divisor
number = 35 x 12

number = 420
Now, the divisor was wrongly taken as 12 instead of 21
So, for correct divisor we have
420 = Quotient x 21
Quotient = 420 / 21
Quotient = 20
 The correct quotient is 20.

Answer 2

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

The Remainder theorem we have is

Number = Quotient x Divisor + Remainder

Here remainder = 0

So, Number = Quotient x Divisor

number = 35 x 12

number = 420

Now, the divisor was wrongly taken as 12 instead of 21

So, for correct divisor we have

420 = Quotient x 21

Quotient = 420 / 21

Quotient = 20

The correct quotient is 20.
