(a) 4
(b) 3
(c) 2
(d) 1
Read Solution (Total 7)
-
- Ans is (D) i.e. 1
132=130+2 i.e 130 is divisible by 5.Therefore will always leave remainder ZERO.
Now, 2^66^33 will give us required remainder.
Take 2^66 => 16^64 => On Dividing 16 by 5, Remainder=1
Therefore, 1^64^33 is equals 1.
Hence Remainder = 1 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(2)
- unit digit in 132^66^33 is 4
reminder of 132^66^33/5 is 4 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
- 1
(130+2)^66^33=2^66^33
Now 2^4% 5=1
Therfore
2^66^33=2^4k+r
Calculate remainder(r) in 66^66=4k+r
This can b done as (64+2)^66%4=2^66%4=0=r
Hence 2^66^33=2^4k
Putting in original
32^32^32=2^32^32=2^4k% 5=1

- ans is 1
(130 + 2)^66^33/5
2^66^33/5
1

- Answer is 1... But can anyone explain in detail...
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- R(132/5)=2
so 2^66^33=132^66^33
(2^6^10*2^6)^33
here 2^6=64...R(64/5)=1
(1^10*2^6)^33
(2^6)^33
(2^6^30*2^3)
Again R(64/5)=1
(1^30)*2^3
8
FINALLY R(8/5)=3
so 3 is d ans - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
