When a positive integer x is divided by 6, remainder obtained is 3. What is the remainder when x4+x3+x2+x+1x4+x3+x2+x+1 is divided by 6?

A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
E. 5

Possible Solution, need your weigh-in on this Master Bunuel:
Can we assume the positive integer is 9? the remainder of 9 divided by 6 is 3.
so Assume the integer is 9.

(9^4+9^3+9^2+9+1)/6= 7381/6= 7380 with 1 remained, hence A.

\(\frac{3^4+3^3+3^2+3+1}6 = \frac{121}6 = 20R1\)­

Remainder = 1

Option A

no is of the form 6k+1
on ^2,^3,^4 or ^1 of above, all values involving variables will a multiple of 6
Hence adding only constant parts i.e. 3^4+3^3+3^2+3^1+1=121 divided by 6 will give a remainder of 1.
hope I am right.
