    The remainder when \[{{27}^{40}}\] is divided by 12 is

    A) 3

    B) 7

    C) 9

    D) 11

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[{{27}^{40}}={{3}^{120}}\] \[{{3}^{119}}={{(4-1)}^{119}}={{\,}^{119}}{{C}_{0}}{{4}^{119}}-{{\,}^{119}}{{C}_{1}}{{4}^{118}}\] \[{{+}^{119}}{{C}_{2}}{{4}^{117}}-{{\,}^{119}}{{C}_{3}}{{4}^{116}}+...+(-1)\] \[\therefore {{3}^{119}}=4k-1\] \[\therefore {{3}^{120}}=12k-3=12(k-1)+9\] \[\therefore \]      The required remainder is 9.
