MCQ
The remainder, when $(15^{23} + 23^{23})$ is divided by $19$, is
  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $15$
  • $0$
  • D
    $18$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$0$
c
$E = (19 - 4)^{23} + (19 + 4)^{23}$

   $= 2 [19^{23} + ^{23}C_2 · 19^{21} · 4^2 + .......... + ^{23}C_{22} · 19 · 4^{22}]$

   $= 2 · 19 [19^{22} + ^{23}C_2 · 19^{20} · 4^2 + .........+ ^{23}C_{22} · 4^{22}]$

$\Rightarrow E$ is divisible by $19 \Rightarrow$ Remainder $= 0$
