Consider the following quotients :
1) 368.39 divided by 17
2) 170.50 divided by 62
3) 875.65 divided by 83
Their correct sequence in decreasing order is :
A. 1, 3, 2
B. 2, 1, 3
C. 2, 3, 1
D. 3, 1, 2
Answer : A. 1, 3, 2
Explanation :
- 36839/17 = 2167, Dividend contains 2 places of decimal.
So, 368.39 / 17 = 21.67 - 17050/62 = 275, Dividend contains 2 places of decimal.
So, 70.50/62 = 2.75 - 87565/83 = 1055, Dividend contains 2 places of decimal.
So, 875.65/83 = 10.55
Since 21.67 > 10.55 > 2.75. The desired order is 1, 3, 2.
