JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2023 - 30th January Evening Shift - No. 22)

$50^{\text {th }}$ root of a number $x$ is 12 and $50^{\text {th }}$ root of another number $y$ is 18 . Then the remainder obtained on dividing $(x+y)$ by 25 is ____________.
Answer
23

Explanation

Given $${x^{{1 \over {50}}}} = 12 \Rightarrow x = {12^{50}}$$

$${y^{{1 \over {50}}}} = 18 \Rightarrow y = {18^{50}}$$

$$12\equiv13$$ (Mod 25)

$$12^2\equiv19$$ (Mod 25)

$$12^3\equiv-3$$ (Mod 25)

$$12^9\equiv-2$$ (Mod 25)

$$12^{10}\equiv-1$$ (Mod 25)

$$12^{50}\equiv-1$$ (Mod 25) ..... (i)

Now

$$18\equiv7$$ (Mod 25)

$$18^2\equiv-1$$ (Mod 25)

$$18^{-50}\equiv-1$$ (Mod 25) ..... (ii)

$$\therefore$$ $$12^{50}+18^{50}\equiv-2$$ (Mod 25)

$$\equiv23$$ (Mod 25)

$$\therefore$$ Answer = 23
