In a division problem, product of quotient and the remainder is 24 while their sum is 10. If the divisor is 5 then dividend is__________.
Correct Answer: 34
We are given:
The product of the quotient and remainder is 24: $$Q\times R=24$$
The sum of the quotient and remainder is 10: $$Q+R=10$$
Solving above two equations, we get {Q,R} as {6,4} or {4,6} . But now the given divisor is 5, the remainder should be less than 5, i.e remainder only possibility is to be 4 .
Hence, Q = 6, R = 4.
Now, Dividend = (Divisor×Quotient) + Remainder = 5(6) + 4 = 34.
Therefore, Dividend = 34 .
