Question Explanation

Text Explanation

There are multiple ways of solving such questions involving remainders; one easy way is to look for a power of numerator that leaves a remainder of 1 or -1 when divided by the denominator. 

In this instance, 1000, when divided by 13, leaves a remainder of -1

We can rewrite the numerator as 1066× 10013\frac{10^{66}\times\ 100}{13}

The remainder would be [106613]R× [10013]R\left[\frac{10^{66}}{13}\right]_R\times\ \left[\frac{100}{13}\right]_R

(1)22× 9\left(-1\right)^{22}\times\ 9

9

Therefore, Option C is the correct answer.
