If n is a prime number greater than 5, what is the remainder when n^2 is divided by 12?	Choose the correct choice from the following answers:  A) 0  B) 1  C) 2  D) 3  E) 5

Rationale: there are several algebraic ways to solve this question , but the easiest way is as follows : since we can not have two correct answers just pick a prime greater than 5 , square it and see what would be the remainder upon division of it by 12 . n = 7 - - > n ^ 2 = 49 - - > remainder upon division 49 by 12 is 1 . answer : b .
Answer: B
