Given:

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).
