Answer :

The given equation is [tex]a=qb+r[/tex]

We need to solve the equation for q.

Value of q:

Let us determine the value of q from the equation [tex]a=qb+r[/tex]

Subtracting both sides of the equation by r, we get;

[tex]a-r=qb[/tex]

Now, dividing both sides of the equation by b, we have;

[tex]\frac{a-r}{b}=\frac{qb}{b}[/tex]

Simplifying the terms, we get;

[tex]\frac{a-r}{b}=q[/tex]

Therefore, the value of q is [tex]q=\frac{a-r}{b}[/tex]

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
