The remainder on dividing 1 + 3 + 32 + 33 + ..... + 32021 by 50 is _________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given,

1+3+32+33+  .....  +  320211 + 3 + {3^2} + {3^3} + \,\,.....\,\, + \,\,{3^{2021}}

=30+31+32+33+  ....  +  32021= {3^0} + {3^1} + {3^2} + {3^3} + \,\,....\,\, + \,\,{3^{2021}}

This is a G.P with common ratio = 3

∴\therefore Sum =1(32022−1)3−1= {{1({3^{2022}} - 1)} \over {3 - 1}}

=32022−12= {{{3^{2022}} - 1} \over 2}

=(32)2011−12= {{{{({3^2})}^{2011}} - 1} \over 2}

=(10−1)1011−12= {{{{(10 - 1)}^{1011}} - 1} \over 2}

=[1011C0 . 101011−1011C1 . 101010+  .....  −  1011C1009 . (10)2+1011C1010 . 10−1011C1011]−12= {{\left[ {{}^{1011}{C_0}\,.\,{{10}^{1011}} - {}^{1011}{C_1}\,.\,{{10}^{1010}} + \,\,.....\,\, - \,\,{}^{1011}{C_{1009}}\,.\,{{(10)}^2} + {}^{1011}{C_{1010}}\,.\,10 - {}^{1011}{C_{1011}}} \right] - 1} \over 2}

=102[1011C0 . (10)1009−1011C1 . (1008)+  .....  1011C1009]+10110−1−12= {{{{10}^2}\left[ {{}^{1011}{C_0}\,.\,{{(10)}^{1009}} - {}^{1011}{C_1}\,.\,(1008) + \,\,.....\,\,{}^{1011}{C_{1009}}} \right] + 10110 - 1 - 1} \over 2}

=100k+10110−22= {{100k + 10110 - 2} \over 2}

=100k+101082= {{100k + 10108} \over 2}

=50k+5054= 50k + 5054

=50k+50×101+4= 50k + 50 \times 101 + 4

=50[k+101]+4= 50[k + 101] + 4

=50k′+4= 50k' + 4

∴\therefore By dividing 50 we get remainder as 4.
