for 1st question( -1^8 + -1^9 ....... + -1^12) = 0+1 =1 so answer should be 1 and not zero

I think these Column Questions are from GRE. So finsisher's answer, which is A, is correct. Column A has bigger value.

finsisher: Can you please explain how you've resolved it?

Q:3 We've total numbers = 100
Numbers that are divisible by 5 = 20
Numbers that are divisible by 7 = 14
Numbers that are divisible by both 5 & 7 = 2
Total Numbers that are NOT divisible by 7 & 5 = 100 - (20 + 14 - 2) = 68
IMO Answer is C

10^0 mod 11 = 1
10^1 mod 11 = 10
10^2 mod 11 = 1
10^3 mod 11 = 10
10^4 mod 11 = 1

(10^8 + 10^9 + 10^10 + 10^11 + 10^12) mod 11
= (1 + 10 + 1 + 10 + 1) mod 11
= (23) mod 11
= 1

(7^6 + 7^7 + 7^8 + 7^9 + 7^10) is divided by 14

for n > 0, 7^n mod 14 = 7

7^6 + 7^7 + 7^8 + 7^9 + 7^10 = (7*5) mod 14 = 35 mod 14 = 7
