50th root of a number x is 12 and 50th root of another number y is 18. Then the remainder obtained on dividing (x + y) by 25 is _________ . [2023]
(23)
Given, x1/50=12⇒x=(12)50
y1/50=18⇒y=(18)50
∴ x+y25=remainder⇒x+y25=1250+185025
125025+(18)5025=(144)25+(324)2525=(150-6)25+(325-1)2525
=25k-(625+1)25=25k-[(5+1)25+1]25=25k1-225
∴ Remainder=23
