Explanation:

x = 163 + 173 + 183 + 193

= (163 + 193) + (173 + 183)

= (16 + 19)(162 − 16 × 19 + 192) + (17 + 18)(172 − 17 × 18 + 182)

 35 × (an odd number) + 35 × (another odd number) = 35 × (an even number) 

= 35 × (2k) … (k is a positive integer)

∴ x = 70k

∴ x is divisible by 70.

Remainder when x is divided by 70 = 0

Hence, option (a).
