If 1 2 · 3 10 + 1 2 2 · 3 9 + … + 1 2 10 · 3 = K 2 10 · 3 10 , then the remainder…

If 12·310+122·39++1210·3=K210·310, then the remainder when K is divided by 6 is
  1. 2
  2. 3
  3. 4
  4. 5

Solution

We know xn-yn=x-yxn-1+xn-2y+xyn-2+yn-1

12·310+122·39+·129·32+1210·3

=29+28·3+    2·38+39210·316=310-210210·310

So, K=310-210
Since we need the remainder when K is divided by 6

so, 310=6q1+3 and 210=6q2+4
Now K will be of the form 6q1+3-6q2+4
=6q1-q2-1
Hence, when K is divided by 6, we get the remainder as 6-1=5
