if n and m are positive integers , what is the reminder when 3 ^ (4n + 2) + M is divided by 10 n= 2 m=1 Notice that 3^(4n + 2) = (3^4n)(3^2) = (3^4)^n * 9 = 81^n * 9. Since the units digit of 81^n will be 1 no matter what the value of n, the units digit of 81^n * 9 will always be 9. So we don't car...

A) Not sufficient. X could be 3 which would make Y= 34 or X could be 2 which would make Y= 20. B) Sufficient. x(x-1) = multiple of Y So if x is 3 y is a multiple of 6. Therefore the minimum number y could be would be 6. So x can't be a multiple of y. If x is 5 y is a multiple of 20. Therefore the m...

IMO C I assume that this is the expression - [3 ^ (4n + 2)] + M. (1) and (2) are clearly insufficient alone. Because, the value of m or n can be any no and when divided by 10, you get different possible remainders. Take n=2, 3 ^ (8+2) + M = 3^10 + M = 59049 + M. M could take any value from 0-9 and ...
