The correct answer is: 7

Given,

A=2

And n=detadjadjadj...A2024 times

Now, using the formula adjadjadj...Ar times=An1r we get,

adjadjadj...A2024 times=An12024

n=A22024

n=222024 as A=2

Now, solving

22024=41012=3+11012=3k+1

222024=23k+1

222024=2·23k

222024=2·9-1k

222024=9m-2

222024=9t-2+9

222024=9m+7

Hence, the remainder is 7
