Q:

How many remainders are possible if 16n is divided by 9 for any positive integral value of n ?

A) 1 B) 2
C) 3 D) 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3

Explanation:

When 16nis divided by 9, we have

 1619, remainder = 7  

1629, remainder = 4 

1639, remainder = 1 

1649, remainder = 7 

1659, remainder = 4 

1669, remainder = 1 

So, we have cyclicity of 3 factors i.e 7,4,1. 

Hence only 3 remainders are possible.
