In a division sum, the remainder is 8 and the divisor is 3 times the quotient and is obtained by adding 3 to the thrice of the remainder. The dividend is:
Options:
(A) 200
(B) 251
(C) 250
(D) 262
(E) 254 Stream of consciousness first, then make a decision:
Diver = (8*3)+3 = 27
3* Quotient = 27
Quotient = 9
Dividend = (Divisor * Quotient) + Remainder
Dividend = (27 * 9) + 8 = 251
Thus, the answer is (B).
