e(32) is 16
43^54^12%16
e(16) is 12
54^12%16
54^12%12 = 6^12%12 = (36)^6%12 = 0
=> 65%32 = 1...

sry bro, do not have any concrete method.but saw this type of question quite a few backit was simply the HCF of 100 & 120 that is 20. so (2^100-1)(2^120 - 1) ----------> (2^20 - 1)
Find GCD of (2^100)-1 and (2^120) -1

2^100 - 1 = 2^100 - 1^100

Now a^n - b^n is always divisible by a - b
So this will be divisible by any 2^x - 1^x where x is a factor of 100. (2^10 - 1^10, 2^50 - 1^50, 2^20 - 1^20, 2^5 - 1^5, 2^25 - 1^25 and so on)

Similarly 2^120 - 1 will be divisible by any 2^y - 1^y where y is a factor of 120.

The highest common one here is 2^20 - 1. Now proving that it is the GCD I don't know...

Aila itna lamba solution....

65^43^54^12 is divided by 32. Remainder=?

65 when divided by 32 is 1. So 65^anything when divided by 32 is 1. End of story. :)

Q) Fresh grapes contain 90% water by weight whereas dry grapes contain 20% water by weight. Ram buys 64 kgs of fresh grapes for Rs. 160. At what price should Ram sell the dry grapes to get a profit of 20%

1?
65^43^54^12 mod 32 = 1^43^54^12 mod 32 = 1

64kg grapes contain 6.4kg pulp and rest water..
for dry grapes --> (6.4+x)*.2 = x
=> x = 1.6kg
so wt of dry grapes = 8kg
SP = 1.2*160 = 192
hence 192/8 = 24/ kg dry grapes....

2?

Not sure what I did, confooz ho gaya:(


Edit: 4. embarrassing error 1^odd ko -1 liya...

3^32^32%7
3^4%7 = 4...
@bs0409

Shld be 4..

Here, E(7)= 6..Hence Rem[32^6/7] = 1

Now, Since the power is 32^32..we will have to simplify this power in terms of 6k + r..Hence, we need, Rem[32^32/6] = ?

Now, Rem[32^32/6] => Rem[2^32/7] = 4..

Hence, 32^32^32 can be written as 32^(6k + 4)

Hence, Rem[32^6k*32^4/7] = Rem[4^4/7] = 4..

4..
Repeats incycles of3...
So 32^32 is like 3k+1...


@bs0409 said:

(-2)^11^22^33^44%5..
11^22^33^44%4
(-1)^even = 1
=> (-2)^1%5 = 2 or -3...

EDIT: -2 nahi 2 hoga...
