Mohan divides 18935 by a certain number. If the quotient and the remainder he gets are 102 and 65, respectively, then the divisor is:
- A155
- B165
- C175
- D185
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
According to the division algorithm:
Dividend=(Divisor×Quotient)+Remainder
Given:
Dividend=18935
Quotient=102
Remainder=65
Let the divisor be d.
18935=(d×102)+65
18935−65=102d
18870=102d
d=
102
18870
Dividing both numerator and denominator by 6:
d=
17
3145
d=185
