When 32(32)(32)32^{(32)^{(32)}}is divided by 7, then the remainder is –

A

2

B

8

C

4

D

None of these

Answer

4

Explanation

Solution

We have,

3232 = (25)32 = 2160 = (3 – 1)160

= 160C03160160C1 . 3159 + ..... – 160C159 . 3 + 160C16030

= 3m + 1, where m Î N

32(32)(32)32^{(32)^{(32)}}= (32)3m+1

= (25) 3m+1

= 215m+5

= (2) 3 (5m+1) . 22

= (23)5m+1 . 22

= (7 + 1)5m+1 ×4

= {5m+1C075m+1 + 5m+1C1 75m + .....+ 5m+1C5m

7 + 5m+1C5m+1 . 70} × 4= (7n + 1) × 4,

where n = 5m+1C0 75m + 1 +.....+ 5m+1C5m , 7

= 28n + 4

Thus, when 32(32)(32)32^{(32)^{(32)}}is divided by 7, the remainder is 4. Hence (3) is correct.
