A. 2

B. 3

C. 1

D. 4

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & \frac{{\text{n}}}{5} \Rightarrow {\text{remainder}}\,\,2 \cr & {\text{if we put n = 7}} \cr} $$
Then it satisfies above situation
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{so n = 7}} \cr & \frac{{{{\text{n}}^2}}}{5} = \frac{{{7^2}}}{5} = \frac{{49}}{5} \cr & \Rightarrow {\text{remainder = 4}} \cr} $$
