Divisor = 10 × Quotient
Divisor = 5 × Remainder
Remainder = 12
Formula used:
Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
Calculation:
Divisor = 5 × Remainder
⇒ Divisor = 5 × 12
⇒ Divisor = 60
Divisor = 10 × Quotient
⇒ 60 = 10 × Quotient
⇒ Quotient = 6
Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
⇒ Dividend = 60 × 6 + 12
⇒ Dividend = 360 + 12
⇒ Dividend = 372
∴ The correct answer is option (2).
