Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

25

Solution :

The correct answer is Option 25.

To find the dividend (the number), we can use the fundamental division relation:

Dividend=(Divisor×Quotient)+Remainder

Let us identify each term given in the problem statement:

1. The remainder is given as 5.
Remainder=5

2. The divisor is twice the remainder.
Divisor=2×Remainder=2×5=10

3. The divisor is also 5 times the quotient.
Divisor=5×Quotient
10=5×Quotient
Quotient=105=2

Now, we substitute the values of the divisor, quotient, and remainder into the division formula to calculate the number (dividend):

Dividend=(10×2)+5
Dividend=20+5=25

Therefore, the required number is 25.
