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
