Q.

Let the number (22)2022+(2022)22 leave the remainder α when divided by 3 and β when divided by 7. Then (α2+β2) is equal to             [2023]

1 20   
2 13  
3 5  
4 10  

Ans.

(3)

We are, (22)2022+(2022)22=(21+1)2022+(2022)22

Here (2022)22 is divisible by 3 as 2022 is divisible by 3.  

Expanding (21+1)2022, we get  

(21+1)2022=C02022(21)2022+C12022(21)2021++C20222022(1)2022

                      =[(3)2022(7)2022+C12022(3)202172021+]+1

                      =3[(3)2021(7)2022+C12022(3)2020(7)2021+]+1

                      =3m+1  Remainder, α=1

Also,  (21+1)22+(2023-1)22

         =7[(3)2022(7)2021+C12022(3)2021(7)2020+]+1+C022(2023)22-C122(2023)21+-C2122(2023)+C2222 

          =(7r1+1)+7[(721)(289)22-C122(7)20(289)21+-C2122(289)]+1

           =(7r1+1)+(7r2+1)=7(r1+r2)+2=7n+2

Remainder, β=2

Now, α2+β2=12+22=5
