    Question

    A number when divided by 45 leaves a remainder 21. What

    will be the remainder when the square of the same number is divided by 45?
    A 9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 21 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 36 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the number be N. Then, N ≡ 21 (mod 45). We are asked to find the remainder when N² is divided by 45. N² ≡ 21² (mod 45). 21² = 441. Now, divide 441 by 45: 441 ÷ 45 = 9 remainder 36. Therefore, the remainder when the square of the number is divided by 45 is 36.
