Find the remainder when 2^89 is divided by 89?
Such questions would not be tested on GMAT. But try finding a pattern in such questions and you should get your answer. Here too the remainders repeat after 11 different values. So 2^(89) or 2^(11*8+1) will have same remainder as 2^1 or 2. Of course you will have to find the pattern by multiplying consecutive reminders by 2.

take condition 3, we get - n is even, then from condition 2, n can be 8,18,28, ..98
and from condition 3 again, we find n can be 8,38,68,98. so 4 values

a<b, so 1/a > 1/b. So, denominator in option A will be higher than that in option B. If denominator is higher, 1/ denominator will be lower

Write it in powers of 2 and 5 as (2^18*5^17) . This can further be written as 2*(2*5)^17 = 2*10^17 . Therefore, k = 18

    \(x = (4^9)(5^{17})=\)

    \( = (2^{18})(5^{17})=\)

    \( = 2(2^{17})(5^{17})=\)

    \( = 2(10^{17})\)
 ­
So, x is 2 followed by 17 zeros (200,000,000,000,000,000), making it an 18-digit number.­

​​​​​​​Answer: E.

so, the possible numbers would be 0.1414..., 0.2323.., 0.0505..

converting them to fractions would give 14/99, 23/99 and 5/99 sum of which is 14/33
