The ratio of the divisor to the remainder is 3 : 2 and the ratio of the divisor to quotient is 7: 12. If the remainder is 14, then the remainder when the dividend is divided by 9 is:
The ratio of the divisor to the remainder is 3 : 2
divisor :Â remainder =Â 3 : 2Â Â Eq.(i)
The ratio of the divisor to quotient is 7: 12.
divisor : quotient =Â 7: 12Â Â Â Eq.(ii)
Merage Eq.(i) and Eq.(ii), by multiplying 7 and 3 respectively.
divisor : remainder : quotient = $$3\times7 : 2\times7 : 3\times12$$
= 21 : 14 : 36
If the remainder is 14, then from the above-given ratios divisor and quotient will be 21 and 36 respectively.   Eq.(iii)
As we know that
Dividend = Divisor $$\times$$ Quotient + Remainder
So we can put the Eq.(iii) in the above equation to obtain the value of 'Dividend'.
Dividend = 21 $$\times$$ 36 + 14
=Â 756+14
= 770
Now dividend(770) is divided by 9 =Â $$85\frac{5}{9}$$
So 5 will be the remainder.
