In a division problem, the divisor is 7 times of quotient and 5 times of remainder. If the dividend is 6 times of remainder, then the quotient is equal to
(a)0
(b)1
(c)7
(d)None of these (Hotel Management, 2007)
Answer
Answer (as printed): B
Explanation
Divisor = 7 × quotient = 5 × remainder and Dividend = 6 × remainder. Let remainder be $x$. Then, divisor $=5x$ and dividend $=6x$. On dividing $6x$ by $5x$, we get 1 as quotient and $x$ as remainder. $\therefore$ Quotient = 1.
