shekhar is right 9999999999999................(20 times) will be divisible by 9, bt 27=9*3 as if we devide 9999999999999................(20 times) by 9 we will get 1111111111111111111............(20 times) which will be not divisible by further 3.

Question:
(1021-1) is not divisible by:
Options:
A) 3
B) 9
C) 11
D) 27 
Solution:
Ans:(c) We know that (xn - 1) is not divisible by (x+1) for odd values  of n.

\(\therefore\) (1021 - 1) is not divisible by (10+1 = 11) since 21 is on odd number
