Correct Answer: 220030

Solution : Given: Divisor = 555 + 445 = 1000; Quotient = 2(555 – 445) = 220; Remainder = 30
We know, Dividend = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder
⇒ Dividend = (1000 × 220) + 30
$\therefore$ Dividend = 220030
Hence, the correct answer is 220030.

Second option: (14, 5, 70)→14 × 5 = 70
Third option: (22, 7, 154)→22 × 7 = 154
Fourth option: (26, 5, 132)→26 × 5 = 130 ≠ 132

Correct Answer: 8

Solution : Let the total time taken by them be $x$ days.
Now,
LCM of 12, 20, and 24 = 120 i.e., total work
So, efficiency of Aarif = $\frac{120}{12}$ = 10
Efficiency of Arun = $\frac{120}{20}$ = 6
Efficiency of Abraham = $\frac{120}{24}$ = 5
According to the question,
$x\times 10 + (x - 3) \times 6 + (x - 6) \times 5 = 120$
⇒ $10x + 6x - 18 + 5x - 30 = 120$
⇒ $21x = 120 + 48$
⇒ $21x = 168$
⇒ $x = 8$
Hence, the correct answer is 8.
