(VI)
             In a division sum, the divisor is 10 times the quotient and 5 times the remainder. If the remainder is 46, then the dividend is
 10Q = 5R
Since R=46, Q=23
Divisor = 10Q = 230
Dividend = (Divisor*Quotient)+Remainder
                  = (230*23)+46
                = 5336

(VII) Draw the correct tabular column representing the employees and departments correctly from the following clues:-
             An organisation consists of 2400 employees working in different departments (HR, marketing, IT, Production and Accounts). The ratio of male to female employees in organisation is 5:3 respectively. 12% of male works in HR department. 24% of female works in Accounts department. The ratio of male to female working in HR department is 6:11 respectively. One-ninth of the female works in the IT department. 42% of them ales work in production department. Number of females working in production department is ten percent of the males working in same. The remaining females are working in marketing department. The total number of employees in IT department is 285. 22% of males work in marketing department and the remaining work in accounts department.
 Total employees = 2400
Male : Female = 5 : 3
Male = (5/8) * 2400 = 1500
Female = 2400 – 1500 = 900
12% of male works in HR department
(12/100) * 1500 = 180
24% of female works in Accounts department
(24/100) * 900 = 216
HR department, Male to female is 6:11
Male working in HR department is 180
One-ninth of females work in IT department
(1/9)*900 = 100
42%of male works in production department
(42/100)*1500 = 630
Female working in production department is 10% of male working in same department
(10/100)*630 = 63
Tot in IT department = 285 (female is 100 and hence male is 185)
22% of males working in marketing department
