Option 2: 4576
Option 3: 4251
Option 4: 4800
Correct Answer: 4251
Solution : Divisor = 13 × Quotient Divisor = 6 × Remainder Remainder = 39 ⇒ Divisor = 39 × 6 = 234 So, Quotient $=\frac{234}{13} = 18$ Dividend = Divisor $×$ Quotient + Remainder $\therefore$ Dividend = 234 × 18 + 39 = 4251 Hence, the
Question : If 10% of $x$ is 3 times of 15% of $y$, then find $x:y$.
Option 1: $7:2$
Option 2: $9:2$
Option 3: $8:3$
Option 4: $11:4$
Correct Answer: $9:2$
Solution : Given: $10$% of $x$ = $3×15$% of $y$ ⇒ $x×\frac{10}{100}=3×y×\frac{15}{100}$ ⇒ $10x=45y$ ⇒ $\frac{x}{y}=\frac{45}{10}=\frac{9}{2}$ ⇒ $x:y=9:2$ Hence, the correct answer is $9:2$.
