Problem

What is the value of $\frac{(2112-2021)^2}{169}$?

$\textbf{(A) } 7 \qquad\textbf{(B) } 21 \qquad\textbf{(C) } 49 \qquad\textbf{(D) } 64 \qquad\textbf{(E) } 91$

Solution

We have \[\frac{(2112-2021)^2}{169}=\frac{91^2}{169}=\frac{91^2}{13^2}=\left(\frac{91}{13}\right)^2=7^2=\boxed{\textbf{(C) } 49}.\] ~MRENTHUSIASM
