Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 12

We have to find the remainder when 75 x 73 x 78 x 76 is divided by 34

⇒ 75/34 = 7 remainder

⇒ 73/34 = 5 remainder

⇒ 78/34 = 10 remainder

⇒ 76/34 = 8 remainder

Now,

(7 × 5  × 10  × 8)/34

⇒ (7 × 10)/34 = 2 remainder

⇒ (5 × 8)/34 = 6 remainder

= 6 × 2 = 12 remainder
