Given: 

The divisor is 5 times the quotient

The divisor is 4 times the remainder

Remainder = 5

Formula Used:

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

Calculation:

Divisor = 4 × Remainder = 4 × 5 = 20

Divisor = 5 × Quotient 

⇒ Quotient = 20/5 = 4

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

⇒ 20 × 4 + 5 = 85
