When 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
= 160C03160 – 160C1 . 3159 + ..... – 160C159 . 3 + 160C16030
= 3m + 1, where m Î N
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)is divided by 7, the remainder is 4. Hence (3) is correct.
