SSC CHSL 2024 PYQ — Question 63

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 3.

Divide the individual numbers by 17 and the remainder in each case is operated as sign used. If the resultant number is greater than 17, it will be divided by 17 and this process is repeated till the remainder is less than 17.

According to the given question, dividing 179 × 172 × 173 by 17

⇒ ${179 × 172 × 173} \over 17$ 

⇒ ${9 × 2 × 3} \over 17$

⇒ $54 \over 17$

The remainder in this case is 3.

Hence the required answer is 3.
