0. What is the remainder when 2050 x 2071 x 2095 is divided by 23?

  • Option : 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.
