Question and options

In a division problem, the product of the quotient and the remainder is 24 while their sum is 10. If the divisor is 5 then the dividend is
  1. 50
  2. 26
  3. 30
  4. 34

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D - 34

The dividend is 3434. The quotient and remainder must be 66 and 44, because their product is 2424, their sum is 1010, and the remainder is below 55. Thus the dividend is 5⋅6+45\cdot6+4. Reversing quotient and remainder gives 2626 with an invalid remainder.
