A. In a division statement, the quotient is 4 and its remainder is 6.The sum of the dividend and the divisor is 66. Find the value ofthe dividend and the divisor.​

Answer»

ANSWER:

Dividend = 54; divisor = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

let the dividend , divisor , quotient and remainder be i , d , q and R respectively.

Dividend = ( divisor × quotient ) + remainder

According to question

i = (d × 4) + 6

i = 4D + 6

4d + 6 = i

4d = i - 6

d =  \frac{i \:  -  \: 6}{4}

this will first equation

According to question

i + d = 66

d = 66 - i

this will second equation

From first and second equation

\frac{i \:  - 6}{4}  = 66  -  \: i

i - 6 = 4( 66 - i )

i - 6 = 264 - 4i

i + 4i = 264 + 6

i = 270/5

i = 54

if we put value of i in second equation

d = 66 -54

d = 12

hence dividend is equal to 54 and divisor is equal to 12.
