If remainder of the polynomial \( \Large x^{3}+x^{2}+x+a \) when divided by \( \Large \left(x-2\right) \) is zero, then value of a is


A) -10

B) -12

C) -14

D) -16

Correct Answer:
C) -14

Description for Correct answer:
Remainder = \( \Large 2^{3}+2^{2}+2+a = a+14 \)

Therefore, \( \Large a+14 = 0 \)

=> \( \Large a = -14 \)
