Imagine we have number

N = abcdefgh … vwxyz where abc… are single digits.

Now we need to find remainder when we divide this number by $$2^x$$

In order to do so we need to pay attention only to last $$x$$ digits. If $$x=1$$ ---> $$2^1$$ (z), if $$x=2$$ ---> $$2^2=4$$ (yz) (divisibility rule for 4 is just a single case) and so on.

Back to our question:

$$32 = 2^5$$ and we need to take into account only last 5 digits of 99009900990099000065.

Discarding the preceding zeros we have:

65/32 remainder is 1.

Simply, 99009900990099000000=99009900990099 * 10^6 is divisible by 2^6=64.

Hence, the remainder of 99009900990099000065/32 = the remainder of 65/32=1.

we could easily eliminate few choices...
it can't be zero, as 32 multiplied by any number would not yield another number with units digit equal to 5.
Moreover, it can't be any EVEN number as a remainder, because odd - even = odd.
C and E are out.

between B and D:
32 * xx2 - then one
32 * xx1 - then three

to be divisible by 32, it must be divisible by 2 four times.
99009900990099000000 is clearly divisible by 32.
64 is divisible by 32 too
therefore, 99009900990099000064 is divisible by 32. therefore, one is the remainder.
