If z = x^n - 19, is z divisible by 9?
1) x = 10; n is a positive integer
2) z + 981 is a multiple of 9

Hi,

z is one of -9, 81, 981, 9981, 99981 etc. Answer to the question 'Yes'.
if z + 9(109) is a multiple of 9; then z should also be a multiple of 9. Answer to the question 'Yes'.

Hence, answer is D

However, considering that gmatmachoman has posted this, something tells me that it cannot be so easy ;-D ... Am I missing something ...

From 1
19%9=1 and 10%9=+1
hence (x^n-19)%9=0..sufficient
the thing I don't understand here is,why it is given 'n is a positive integer '..this is not really required

From 2
981%9 =0..since (z+981)%9=0...z must be divisible by 9..sufficient.

option D
