    2. \(2\)
    3. \(3\)
    4. \(4\)


Answer: (b) \(2\)

Solution: According to polynomial remainder theorem,$$\frac{7^{33}}{5} = \frac{(5 + 2)^{33}}{5}$$ $$= \frac{2^{33}}{5} = \frac{(2^3)^{11}}{5} = \frac{(5 + 3)^{11}}{5}$$ $$= \frac{3^{11}}{5} = \frac{3^8 \times 3^3}{5} = \frac{(3^2)^4 \times 3^3}{5}$$ $$= \frac{(5 + 4)^4 \times 3^3}{5} = \frac{4^4 \times 3^3}{5}$$ $$= \frac{(4^2)^2 \times 3^3}{5} = \frac{(5 + 11)^2 \times 3^3}{5}$$ $$= \frac{11^2 \times 3^3}{5} = \frac{(5 + 6)^2 \times 3^3}{5}$$ $$= \frac{6^2 \times 3^3}{5} = \frac{(5 + 1)^2 \times 3^3}{5}$$ $$= \frac{1 \times 3^3}{5} = \frac{27}{5} = 2$$

  1. Find the remainder of the expression \(\frac{3^{101}}{8}\)?

    1. \(1\)
    2. \(2\)
    3. \(3\)
    4. \(4\)


Answer: (c) \(3\)

Solution: According to polynomial remainder theorem,$$\frac{3^{101}}{8} = \frac{(3^2)^{50} \times 3}{8}$$ $$= \frac{(8 + 1)^{50} \times 3}{8} = \frac{3}{8} = 3 \ (Remainder)$$

  1. Find the remainder of the expression \(\frac{8^{101}}{6}\)?

    1. \(1\)
    2. \(2\)
    3. \(3\)
    4. \(4\)


Answer: (b) \(2\)

Solution: According to polynomial remainder theorem,$$\frac{8^{101}}{6} = \frac{(6 + 2)^{101}}{6}$$ $$= \frac{2^{101}}{6} = \frac{2^{99} \times 2^2}{6} = \frac{(2^3)^{33} \times 2^2}{6}$$ $$= \frac{(6 + 2)^{33} \times 2^2}{6} = \frac{2^{33} \times 2^2}{6}$$ $$= \frac{(2^3)^{11} \times 2^2}{6} = \frac{(6 + 2)^{11} \times 2^2}{6}$$ $$= \frac{2^{11} \times 2^2}{6} = \frac{2^9 \times 2^2 \times 2^2}{6}$$ $$= \frac{(2^3)^3 \times 2^4}{6} = \frac{(6 + 2)^3 \times 2^3 \times 2}{6}$$ $$= \frac{2^3 \times 2^3 \times 2}{6} = \frac{(6 + 2) \times (6 + 2) \times 2}{6}$$ $$= \frac{2 \times 2 \times 2}{6} = \frac{8}{6} = 2 \ (Remainder)$$
