Your question is - Find the dividend if it is given that the dividend when divided by 6 gives the remainder as half of the divisor and the quotient is 2 more than the perfect square of the divisor? Your Correct answer: e See the details Explanation of your question: According to the question, Divisor = 6..... (i) Quotient = 2 + perfect square of the divisor Thus, quotient = 2 + 36 = 38.....(ii) Remainder = half of the divisor Thus, remainder = 6/2 = 3.....(iii) According to the standard mathematical formula for division: Dividend = divisor * quotient + remainder Substituting the values from equation (i), (ii) as well as (iii) in this formula, we get, Dividend = 6 * 38 + 3 ∓ Dividend = 228 + 3 ∓ Dividend = 231 Hence, the correct answer is option e.
