Correct Answer: 2


Solution : Given, a number when divided by 7 leaves a remainder of 4.
Let the number be 7x + 4
Square of number = (7x + 4) 2 = 49x 2 + 56x + 16
Since, 49x 2 + 56x is divisible by 7
Remainder when this number is divided by 7 = Remainder when 16 is divided by 7 = 2
Hence, the correct answer is 2.
