    As we know that ,
    31 = 3; 32 = 9; 33 = 27; 34 = 81; 35 = 243
    i.e. unit’s digit is repeated after index 4.
    Remainder after dividing 21 by 4 = 1

    Correct Option: C

    As we know that ,
    31 = 3; 32 = 9; 33 = 27; 34 = 81; 35 = 243
    i.e. unit’s digit is repeated after index 4.
    Remainder after dividing 21 by 4 = 1
    ∴  Unit’s digit in the expansion of (3)21 = 3
    ∴  Remainder after dividing by 5 = 3


  1. When ‘n’ is divisible by 5 the remainder is 2. What is the remainder when n2 is divided by 5 ?

    If n is divisible by 5 then remainder = 2.
    Required remainder = Remainder obtained by dividing 22 by 5.

    Correct Option: D

    If n is divisible by 5 then remainder = 2.
    Required remainder = Remainder obtained by dividing 22 by 5.
    Hence Remainder = 4



  1. A number, when divided by 221, leaves a remainder 64. What is the remainder if the same number is divided by 13 ?

    Here, the first divisor (221) is a multiple of second divisor (13)

    Correct Option: D

    Here, the first divisor (221) is a multiple of second divisor (13)
    Hence, required remainder = remainder obtained on dividing 64 by 13 = 12


  1. Two numbers, when divided by 17, leave remainders 13 and 11 respectively. If the sum of those two numbers is divided by 17, the remainder will be

    Let two numbers are P and Q.
    According to question ,
    First number (P) = 17p + 13
    Second number (Q) = 17q + 11

    ∴ 
    P + Q
    =
    17(p + q)
    +
    13 + 11
    171717

    Correct Option: C

    Let two numbers are P and Q.
    According to question ,
    First number (P) = 17p + 13
    Second number (Q) = 17q + 11

    ∴ 
    P + Q
    =
    17(p + q)
    +
    13 + 11
    171717

    ∴  Required remainder
    = Remainder obtained on dividing
    11 + 13 = 24
    ⇒ 24 = ( 17 × 1 ) + 7
    Hence , Required remainder = 7



  1. A number, when divided by 136, leaves remainder 36. If the same number is divided by 17, the remainder will be

    If the first divisor be a multiple of the second divisor, then
    Required remainder = remainder obtained by dividing the first remainder (36) by the second divisor (17)

    Correct Option: D

    If the first divisor be a multiple of the second divisor, then
    Required remainder = remainder obtained by dividing the first remainder (36) by the second divisor (17)
    ⇒ 36 = ( 17 × 2 ) + 2
    Hence , Required remainder = 2
