Question:
What will be remainder when 17200 is divided by 18 ?

[A].

17

[B].

16

[C].

1

[D].

2

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

When n is even. (xn – an) is completely divisibly by (x + a)

(17200 – 1200) is completely divisible by (17 + 1), i.e., 18.

   (17200 – 1) is completely divisible by 18.

   On dividing 17200 by 18, we get 1 as remainder.

The difference of the squares of two consecutive odd integers is divisible by which of the following integers ?

Question:
The difference of the squares of two consecutive odd integers is divisible by which of the following integers ?

[A].

3

[B].

6

[C].

7

[D].

8

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let the two consecutive odd integers be (2n + 1) and (2n + 3). Then,

(2n + 3)2 – (2n + 1)2 = (2n + 3 + 2n + 1) (2n + 3 – 2n – 1)

     = (4n + 4) x 2

     = 8(n + 1), which is divisible by 8.

The difference of the squares of two consecutive even integers is divisible by which of the following integers ?

Question:
The difference of the squares of two consecutive even integers is divisible by which of the following integers ?

[A].

3

[B].

4

[C].

6

[D].

7

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the two consecutive even integers be 2n and (2n + 2). Then,

(2n + 2)2 = (2n + 2 + 2n)(2n + 2 – 2n)

     = 2(4n + 2)

     = 4(2n + 1), which is divisible by 4.
