If P is a prime number greater than 3, find the remainder when p^2 + 17 is divided by 12.	Pick one: A) 6 B) 1 C) 0 D) 8 E) 7

Rationale: "take any prime number greater than 3 and check - say p = 5 so , p ^ 2 + 17 = 25 + 17 = > 42 42 / 12 will have remainder as 6 say p = 7 so , p ^ 2 + 17 = 49 + 17 = > 66 66 / 12 will have remainder as 6 so answer will be ( a ) 6"
Answer: A
