Find the remainder when the sum 2^100+2^200+2^300..+...+..2^10000 is divided by 7a) 2b) 0c) 1d) 6 e) None of these.
2^3 mod 7 = 1
=> 2^100 mod 7 = 2
Also, 2^200 mod 7 = 4
And, 2^300 mod 7 = 1

So, here we will have [ 2*34 + 4*33 + 1*33 ] mod 7
=> 68 + 132 + 33 mod 7
=> 233 mod 7
=> 2 mod 7

Remainder = 2 :roll:

Check again 1st one.It will be 4. 2nd is correct

a) 2
b) 0
c) 1
d) 6
e) None of these.
c) 1..??
@ravi.theja d) 6..
@ravi.theja

Should be 2..

Rem[2^1/7]= 2, Rem[2^2/7] = 4, Rem[2^3/7]=1, Rem[2^4/7]= 2...Hence the cycility of power of 2 with 7 as divisor is 3..

Hence, Rem[2^100/7] = 2, Rem[2^200/7] = 4, and, Rem[2^300/7] = 1..

Thus, 2^100+2^200+2^300 is divisible by 7..These can be grouped as a single unit..

Since the maximum is ten thousand, which can be defined as, 3*3,333 + 1, Thus, the answer wil be Rem [2^1/7]...Since the coupled power "9,999=2^100+^200+....+2^9,999" will be divisible by 7..

Hence, the answer is 2..

a^2-c^2 = 144 = 72*2 , 36*4 , 18*8,..??
( 20,16) ,( 13,5) (37,35)
getng 3 😃 4th one???

ans is 2.
2^3=1Mod 7
2^100=2mod7
2^200=4mod7
and so on...

Which of the followinf is not a perfect square

100856, 325137, 945729? how to find quickly?
@vbhvgupta

Any perfect square will have 0,1,4,5,6 n 9 as the Unit digit..For the starters we can luk..Here..Option B ends with 7..Hence it wont be..

Q.

A train overtakes two persons who are walking in the same direction in which the train is going,at the rate of 2kmph and 4kmph and passes them completely in 9 and 10 seconds respectively. The length of the train is?


Please share logical aprroach in detail ,please.

always square of any number ends with 1,4,9,6,5 and 0... in this case optn B ends with 7 so B is the ans
@rayus how about this way..2 (100+200+...10000)..now treating 100, 200 to 10000 as an AP sum would be 505000..now 2*505000/7..remainder would be 6..what say!

1. 4 (37,35), (20, 16), (15,9), (13,5)
2. 0

@cadmium Arun sharma can help you out decently with these basic question..

depends on personal choice bro..

always ,Square of any number ll end with 1,4,9,,6,5 or 0 as the unit digit..here in optn B unit digit is 7 😃 so ans : B

Is it 50 metres??
Let the length of the traing be l and it's speed be v mps
=> l/(v - 5/9) = 9
and l/(v - 10/9) = 10
therefore, l = 9v - 5
and l = 10/9*(9v - 10)
Solve both equations, l comes out to be 50 metres

Thanks for the suggestion.
I would be more thankful if you can share the logical approach.

D=S*T ==> L (length of train ) = [ s (train ) + s (person) ]* time

==> L = ( s - 2 *5/18) * 9 ; L= (s-4* 5/18)*10 ==> on solving we get s= 110/18 ==> L= 50 metres
