Q54 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (24 Jun Shift 2) · Mathematics

The remainder on dividing 1+3+32+33+…+32021 by 50 is _____.

Correct answer: 4

Solution

Let S=1+3+32+⋯·32021

=32022-13-1=32022-12

Simplifying by using binomial expansion we get321011-12=(10-1)1011-12

⇒ 1011C0101011-1011C1101010+…+C10101011101-C10111011×1-12

100q+1011×10-22

⇒  100q+10110-22=100q+101082=50q+5054

Now dividing 50q+5054 by 50

We get 4 as remainder.

Hence option B is correct.

Hence, the correct answer is 4.
