Question:

The least non-negative integer to be added to $64×65 × 66$ so that it is divisible by 67 is :

Options:

60

65

61

62

Correct Answer:

61

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → 61

$64≡-3(mod\,67)$

$65≡-2(mod\,67)$

$66≡-1(mod\,67)$

$(-3)×(-2)×(-1)≡(-6)mod\,67$

$-6≡61(mod\,67)$

$⇒61+k≡0(mod\,67)$

$∴k=61$
