N is a positive integer ,which when divided by 16 ,17,18 giver remainders of 6,7,8 resp.find the rem when N^2+5N+6 is divided by 12
Read Solution (Total 3)
-
- N is 4886 .
4886^2 +5*4886 +6 = 358094940 + 24430 +6 = 358119396 which is fully divisible by 12.
so remainder is zero. - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(4)
- L.C.M of 16,17,18 is 2448.to get remainders of 6,7,8 subtract 10 from L.C.M which is 2438.
so required num is 2438.
factorizing equation we get (N+2)(N+3)
substituting we get 2440*2441
on simplification we get 610*2441/3=>1*1/3=>remainder=1
as we cancelled 4 times remainder is 4. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- There is a small mistake in Mr. Ramani answer. I have corrected it.
L.C.M of 16,17,18 is 2448.to get remainders of 6,7,8 subtract 10 from L.C.M which is 2438.
so required num is 2438.
factorizing equation we get (N+2)(N+3)
substituting we get 2440*2441
on simplification we get 610*2441/3=>1*2/3=>remainder=2
as we cancelled 4 times remainder is 2*4 = 8.
or..
Don't cancel the 4.
R [2440/12]* R [2441/12] = 4 * 5 = 20 => r [20/12] = 8 (Ans) - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
