  1. In a question on division, the divisor is 7 times the quotient and 3 times the remainder. If the remainder is 28, then the dividend is
    1. 588
    2. 784
    3. 823
    4. 1036
Correct Option: D

Given , Remainder = 28
Let the quotient be Q and the remainder be R. Then
According to question ,
Divisor = 7 Q = 3 R

∴  Q =
3
R =
3
× 28 = 12
77

⇒ Quotient = 12
∴ Divisor = 7 Q = 7 × 12 = 84
∴ Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder = 84 × 12 + 28 = 1008 + 28 = 1036
Hence the dividend is 1036.
