In a division sum, the divisor is 12 times the quotient and 5 times the remainder . If the remainder be 48 then the dividend is ?

1. 240
2. 576
3. 4800
4. 4848

Correct Option: D

Let quotient = Q and remainder = R
Then, Divisor = 12 Q =5 R
Now, R = 48
⇒ 12Q = 5 x 48
⇒ Q = 20

Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder
∴ dividend = ( 20 x 240 + 48 )
= 4848
