    Find the remainder when \[({{11}^{{{17}^{15}}}}+{{13}^{{{11}^{15}}}})\] is divided by 7.

    A)  0                    

    B)         1                    

    C)  2                    

    D)         3                    

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    When 17" is divided by 6 \[\frac{{{(18-1)}^{15}}}{6},\] remainder = 5 So, \[{{17}^{15}}\] can be written as \[6k+5\]. \[\therefore \]    \[\frac{{{11}^{{{17}^{15}}}}}{7}=\frac{{{11}^{6k+5}}}{7}=\frac{{{(7+4)}^{6k+5}}}{7}=\frac{6k+5}{7}\] \[=\frac{16\times {{({{4}^{3}})}^{2k+1}}}{7}=\frac{16\times {{(63+1)}^{2k+1}}}{7}\] \[\frac{{{13}^{{{11}^{15}}}}}{7}=\frac{{{(14-1)}^{\text{odd}}}}{7}\Rightarrow \] Remainder = 6 So, remainder when \[{{11}^{{{17}^{15}}+}}{{13}^{{{17}^{15}}}}\] is divided by 7 is 1.
