Q.

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]


Ans.

(23)

Given,  x1/50=12x=(12)50

y1/50=18y=(18)50

  x+y25=remainderx+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
