What is the remainder obtained on dividing

16^101 + 8^101 + 4^101 + 2^101 + 1 by 2^100 +1


please solve this one. How can u think that substitution. please explain

similarly we can find out for each of the tens, hundreds and thousands place.......Is this approach correct?
yes, that's correct
I guess there is a formula for this,

Sum = n!*(111..n ones)*(1+2+3+4+..n)

u have solved almost whole of the question,likewise it will same for ten's and hundred's place i.e 60.
so total is 60
60
60

It is the application of remainder theorem.

Re: official quant thread for CAT 2009 - 03-07-2009, 12:41 AM

hi puys .. this may sound naive to you but i have a doubt here ..

we say the area of triangle(attached) can be expressed as =

1/2 *bc sinA = 1/2 * ab sinC = 1/2 * ac sinB


can anyone please prove this for me ..

and also is Trignometry restricted to rt angles only ??



PS : I am not able to upload the pic of the triangle, dunno why its giving an error .. please consider ab,bc and ac as the sides of a triangle opposite to angles C,A and B respectively.


randeep... stopped dreaming !!!.. time 2 do sumthin real

consider 2^101%(2^100 + 1) = (2^100 + 2^100)%(2^100 + 1)
= (2^100 +1 +2^100 +1 -2)%(2^1001)= -2

=>2^101 can be substituted by -2
=>given number =(2^101)^4 + (2^101)^3 + (2^101)^2 + 2^101 +1
=> remainder = -2^4 + -2^3 + -2^2 + -2^1 +1
=16-8+4-2+1=11

hope it clears..

This link might prove useful
Area of a triangle (7 different ways)

and no trignometry is not restricted to right angled triangles only

Hope i am not breaking any rules by posting the link here

consider any triangle ABC

drop perpendicular BD from point B to side AC

now, BD = AB*SINA

area of triangle = 1/2*BD*AC = 1/2*AB*SINA*AC=1/2*AB*AC*SINA=1/2*b*c*sinA

similarly others can also be proved

hope it clears...
