Re: If \(M\) and \(N\) are integers, is \(\dfrac{10^M + N}3\) an integer?
1) M can be any integer coz 10/3 will always leave 1 as remainder.
since N=5 then 5/3 leaves 2 as remainder.
so 1+2/3 will leave NO remainder.
so the whole expression will be an integer.
SUFFICIENT.
2)with changing values of N, we will get different remainders.
so INSUFFICIENT.
IMO
