17

B.

C.

6

D.

3

 

Answer : C

Explanation :

2050 x 2071 x 2095
=(23x89+3)x(23x90+1)x(23x91+2)
=(23[89 x 90+ 89 + 90 x 3]+ 3)x(23 x 91+2)
=(23 *K+ 3)* (23 * 91 + 2) )
=(23 *[K* 91 + K*  2 + 91 * 3]+ 6)
= 23 * L + 6 (where K and L are constants).
Hence remainder is 6.

but sir remainder 17 are also come .if we calculate it well, some quick arithmetic as followed by using multiples of 23 like 230,2300 etc. 2300-230=2070 is clearly a multiple of 23.(2070-2050)*(2070-2071)*(2070-2095)=20*(-1)*(-25) by 23500/23remainder is come 17.
