Each item contains a Question followed by two Statements. Answer each item using the following instructions :
Choose option
(a) If the Question can be answered by one of the Statements alone, but not by the other.
(b) If the Question can be answered by either Statement alone.
(c) If the Question can be answered by using both the Statements together, but cannot be answered by using either Statement alone.
(d) If the Question cannot be answered even by using both Statements together.
Statement-I: n is even.
Statement-II: p is even.
To determine the remainder when p^n is divided by p + 1, we need to evaluate both statements given:
- Statement-I: n is even.
- Statement-II: p is even.
Let's analyze each statement individually:
- Statement-I: Since n is even, we know that n = 2k for some integer k. However, without additional information about p, we cannot determine the exact value of the remainder of p^n when divided by p + 1. Therefore, Statement-I alone is insufficient.
- Statement-II: Since p is even, it means p = 2m for some integer m. However, without information about the power n, we cannot determine the remainder of p^n when divided by p + 1. Therefore, Statement-II alone is insufficient as well.
Now, let's combine both statements:
Given both n is even and p is even, we still do not have enough information about any specific formula or property that directly links to p^n simplified over p+1 that gives a specific remainder. In number theory, without additional arithmetical manipulation or specific statements linking p^n to p+1, the specific remainder formula is indeterminable with the information provided.
Hence, even when combined, both statements are insufficient to determine the remainder of p^n divided by p + 1.
The correct answer is therefore:
(d) If the Question cannot be answered even by using both Statements together.
