Answer 2

Answer:

No, it can not be possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since,

Dividend = Quotient × Divisor + Remainder

We know that,

$\frac{x}{y} \geq 1\text{ if }x \geq y$

While,

$\frac{x}{y} < 1\text{ if }x < y$

That is, there are two cases,

Case 1 :

If Quotient ≥ 1

Dividend ≥ Divisor

Case 2 :

If Quotient < 1

Dividend < Divisor

Here, Divisor = $\frac{3}{4}$

If quotient is a whole number, ( ≥ 1 )

It is obvious that the dividend must be greater than equal to $\frac{3}{4}$

Hence, given statement is incorrect.
