    The remainder when \[{{5}^{99}}\] is divided by 13 is

    A) 6

    B) 8

    C) 9

    D) 10

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[{{5}^{99}}=(5)\,{{({{5}^{2}})}^{49}}=5{{(25)}^{49}}=5{{(26-1)}^{49}}\] = \[5\times (26)\times (\text{Positive terms)--5,}\] So when it is divided by 13 it gives the remainder ? 5 or (13 ? 5) i.e., 8.
