17
16
1
2
Answer: Option
Explanation:

When n is even. (xn - an) is completely divisibly by (x + a)

(17200 - 1200) is completely divisible by (17 + 1), i.e., 18.

   (17200 - 1) is completely divisible by 18.

   On dividing 17200 by 18, we get 1 as remainder.

When (X-1)^n is divided by X then R=1, If n is even natural number and if n is odd natural number then R = X-1.

When 17^200 is completely divisible by 18 then the remainder needs to be 0 right, then how come 1?

17^200 = (18 - 1)^200 gives (18^200) - 2 * 18 + 1 which give remainder 1 when divided by 18.

and the reminder is 16.

Simple way way is:

17 ^2 %18 =1.

(17^2)*(7^100) %18 will also be 1.
