When 'n' is divisible by 5 the remainder is 2. What is the remainder when n2 is divided by 5 ?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
D
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{\text{n}}}{5} \Rightarrow {\text{remainder}}\,\,2 \cr
& {\text{if we put n = 7}} \cr} $$
Then it satisfies above situation
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{so n = 7}} \cr & \frac{{{{\text{n}}^2}}}{5} = \frac{{{7^2}}}{5} = \frac{{49}}{5} \cr & \Rightarrow {\text{remainder = 4}} \cr} $$
Then it satisfies above situation
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{so n = 7}} \cr & \frac{{{{\text{n}}^2}}}{5} = \frac{{{7^2}}}{5} = \frac{{49}}{5} \cr & \Rightarrow {\text{remainder = 4}} \cr} $$
