Correct answer: 45

  1. Let the two-digit number be nnn, so 10≤n≤9910 \le n \le 9910≤n≤99.

  2. We need: 3n+7n is divisible by 103^n + 7^n \text{ is divisible by } 103n+7n is divisible by 10 That means: 3n+7n≡0(mod10)3^n + 7^n \equiv 0 \pmod{10}3n+7n≡0(mod10)

  3. Now look at powers of 333 and 777 modulo 101010.

For 3n(mod10)3^n \pmod{10}3n(mod10): 3,9,7,1,3,9,7,1,…3,9,7,1,3,9,7,1,\dots3,9,7,1,3,9,7,1,… This repeats with period 444.

For 7n(mod10)7^n \pmod{10}7n(mod10): 7,9,3,1,7,9,3,1,…7,9,3,1,7,9,3,1,\dots7,9,3,1,7,9,3,1,… This also repeats with period 444.

  1. Add them according to n(mod4)n \pmod{4}n(mod4):
  • If n≡1(mod4)n \equiv 1 \pmod{4}n≡1(mod4), then 3n+7n≡3+7=10≡0(mod10)3^n + 7^n \equiv 3+7=10 \equiv 0 \pmod{10}3n+7n≡3+7=10≡0(mod10)
  • If n≡2(mod4)n \equiv 2 \pmod{4}n≡2(mod4), then 3n+7n≡9+9=18≡8(mod10)3^n + 7^n \equiv 9+9=18 \equiv 8 \pmod{10}3n+7n≡9+9=18≡8(mod10)
  • If n≡3(mod4)n \equiv 3 \pmod{4}n≡3(mod4), then 3n+7n≡7+3=10≡0(mod10)3^n + 7^n \equiv 7+3=10 \equiv 0 \pmod{10}3n+7n≡7+3=10≡0(mod10)
  • If n≡0(mod4)n \equiv 0 \pmod{4}n≡0(mod4), then 3n+7n≡1+1=2(mod10)3^n + 7^n \equiv 1+1=2 \pmod{10}3n+7n≡1+1=2(mod10)

So the expression is divisible by 101010 exactly when nnn is odd.

  1. Therefore, we just count the odd two-digit numbers from 101010 to 999999. These are: 11,13,15,…,9911,13,15,\dots,9911,13,15,…,99 This is an arithmetic progression with first term 111111, last term 999999, common difference 222.

Number of terms: 99−112+1=882+1=44+1=45\frac{99-11}{2}+1=\frac{88}{2}+1=44+1=45299−11​+1=288​+1=44+1=45

  1. Hence, the total number of such two-digit numbers is: 45\boxed{45}45​
