Question
In a division, the remainder is 0 when a student mistook the divisor as 12 instead of 21 and obtained 35 as quotient. What is the correct quotient ?Options :101520none
Solution
The problem states that a student mistakenly used 12 as the divisor and got a quotient of 35 with no remainder. This means the dividend (the number being divided) is 12 * 35 = 420.
The correct divisor should have been 21. So, to find the correct quotient, we divide the dividend by the correct divisor.
420 ÷ 21 = 20
So, the correct quotient should have been 20.
