      Question

      On dividing (5757Β + 57) by 58, the remainder

      obtained is β€˜R’. Find the value of (R – 5).
      A 56 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 58 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 51 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      5757Β + 57 = (5757Β + 1 + 56) = (5757Β + 157Β + 56) (amΒ + bm) is divisible by (a + b) for all odd values of β€˜m’. So, {(5757Β + 157)/58} will be divisible by 58 (57 + 1) So, required remainder is when 56 is divided by 58, which in turn is 56. So, R = 56 Required value = R – 5 = 56 – 5 = 51
