    A) 100

    B) 1000

    C) 10000

    D) 100000

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[{{(1+100)}^{100}}=1+100.100+\frac{100.99}{1.2}.{{(100)}^{2}}\]\[+\frac{100.99.98}{1.2.3}{{(100)}^{3}}+....\] \[{{(101)}^{100}}-1=100.100\left[ 1+\frac{100.99}{1.2}+\frac{100.99.98}{1.2.3}.100+.... \right]\] From above it is clear that,   \[{{(101)}^{100}}-1\]is divisible by (100)2 = 10000
