  1. 96 – 11 when divided by 8 would leave a remainder of :
    1. 0
    2. 1
    3. 2
    4. 3
    5. None of these
Correct Option: E

If (p ± 1)n is divided by
p, the remainder is (±1)n,
Now, 96 – 11 = (8 + 1)6 –11
When it is divided by 8, remainder = + 1 – 11 = – 10
When – 10 is divided by 8, remainder = – 2
⇒ – 2 + 8 = 6
Therefore required remainder is 6 .
