Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2022

The remainder when 32022 is divided by 5 is :

  1. A 1
  2. B 2
  3. C 3
  4. D 4 Correct answer

Solution

<p>${3^{2022}}$</p> <p>$= {({3^2})^{1011}}$</p> <p>$= {(9)^{1011}}$</p> <p>$= {(10 - 1)^{1011}}$</p> <p>$$ = {}^{1011}{C_0}{(10)^{1011}} + \,\,.....\,\, + \,\,{}^{1011}{C_{1010}}\,.\,{(10)^1} - {}^{1011}{C_{1011}}$$</p> <p>$$ = 10\left[ {{}^{1011}{C_0}{{(10)}^{1010}} + \,\,......\,\, + \,\,{}^{1011}{C_{1010}}} \right] - 1$$</p> <p>$= 10\,K - 1$</p> <p>[As $$10\left[ {{}^{1011}{C_0}\,.\,{{(10)}^{1010}} + \,\,......\,\, + \,\,{}^{1011}{C_{1010}}} \right]$$ is multiple of 10]</p> <p>$= 10K + 5 - 5 - 1$</p> <p>$= 10K - 5 + 5 - 1$</p> <p>$= 5(2K - 1) + 4$</p> <p>$\therefore$ Unit digit = 4 when divided by 5.</p>
