MCQ
$2.4^{2\text{n+1}}+3^{3\text{n+1}}$ is divisible by: $($for all $n \in N)$
  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $9$
  • C
    $3$
  • $11$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$11$
Concepts:
Suppose there is a given statement $p(n)$ involving the natural number $n$ such that
The statement is true for $n = 1,$
i.e., $P(1)$ is true, and
If the statement is true for $n = k ($where $k$ is some positive integer$)$, then the statement is also true for $n = k + 1,$
i.e., truth of $P (k)$ implies the truth of $P(k + 1).$
Then, $P (n)$ is true for all natural numbers $n.$​​​​​​​
Calculation:
Given:
$\text{p}\text{(n)}=2.4^{2\text{n+1}}+3^{3\text{n+1}}$
Take $n = 1$
$\text{p}(1)=2.4^{2\times+1}+3^{3\times+1}$
$=2.4^3+3^4=209=11\times19$
Therefore we can say that $P (n)$ is divisible by $11.$
