    The greatest common divisor of \[{{3}^{{{3}^{333}}}}+1\]and \[{{3}^{{{3}^{334}}}}+1\] is                                                                          [SSC (10+2) 2010]

    A) \[{{3}^{{{3}^{333}}}}+1\]              

    B) 20

    C) 2                                 

    D) 1

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given, \[{{3}^{{{3}^{333}}}}+1\] and \[{{3}^{{{3}^{334}}}}+1={{27}^{333}}+1\]
    and       \[{{27}^{334}}+1\]
    Now \[({{x}^{m}}+{{a}^{m}})\] is divisible by \[(x+a)\]for odd m.
    \[\therefore \] \[(27+1)\]divides \[({{27}^{333}}+1)\] and does not divide \[({{27}^{334}}+1).\]
    \[\therefore \] HCF of \[({{27}^{333}}+1)\] and \[({{27}^{334}}+1)\] is 1.
