Solution

Correct option is

(B)

Explanatory Answer :

we have to calculate this , (13^{100}+17^{^{100}})/ 25

As we know , Euler of 25 is 20

according to Euler

(a^{20})/ 25 = 1

Apply it here

 ((13^{20})^^{^{5}}+(17^{20})^^{^{5}})/ 25

=  (1^{5}+1^{5})/25

= 1+1/25

= 2/25

= 2 remainder

hence , B is the correct option
