The correct answer is

460

The remainder is given as 10, and the divisor is 3 times the remainder: \(3 \times 10 = 30\).

The divisor is also 2 times the quotient, so the quotient is \(\frac{30}{2} = 15\).

Apply the division identity \(\text{Dividend} = \text{Divisor} \times \text{Quotient} + \text{Remainder}\).

Substitute the values: \(30 \times 15 + 10 = 450 + 10 = 460\).

Hence, the dividend is 460.
