Question

In question on division with zero re mainder,a candidate look 12 as divisor instead of 21,the quotient obtained by him was 35, what is a correct quotient?

Answer 1

Answer :-

Quotient = 20

$\rule{100}2$

Given:-

• Remainder = 0
• Divisor = 12
• Quotient = 35

Find:-

Correct Quotient.

Solution:-

We know that -

Number = Quotient × Divisor + Remainder

Let the -

• number be x

$\implies$ x = 35 × 12 + 0

$\implies$ x = 35 × 12

$\implies$ x = 420

Now,

The candidate took 12 as divisor instead of 21.

Here -

• Divisor = 21
• Number = 420
• Remainder = 0
• Quotient =?

Let the -

• Quotient = y

So,

$\implies$ 420 = y × 21 + 0

$\implies$ 420 = y × 21

$\implies$ y = 420/21

$\implies$ y = 20

•°• Correct quotient is 20.

Answer 2

$\LARGE\underline{\underline{\sf Given:}}$

• Division with zero remainder,a candidate look 12 as divisor instead of 21 the quotient obtained by him was 35.

$\LARGE\underline{\underline{\sf To\:Find:}}$

• What is a correct quotient = ?

$\LARGE\underline{\underline{\sf Solution:}}$

Divisor taken = 12

Quotient Obtained = 35

Remainder = 0

•°• Dividend :-

$\large\implies{\sf 12×35}$

$\large\implies{\sf 420}$

Dividend = 420

Divisor = 21

Remainder = 0

•°• Quotient :-

$\large\implies{\sf \dfrac{420}{21}}$

$\large\implies{\sf 20}$

$\LARGE\underline{\underline{\sf Answer:}}$

•°• Correct Quotient is 20.
