MCQ
72n + 16n - 1 is divisible by (n ∈ N):
  • 64
  • B
    49
  • C
    13
  • D
    25

Answer

Correct option: A.
64
Calculation:
S = 72n + 16n - 1
For n = 1
S = 49 + 16 - 1 = 64
For n = 2
S = 2401 + 32 - 1 = 2432 = 64 × 32, which is divisible by 64

Let $n \geq 3$. A list of numbers $x_1, x, \ldots, x_n$ has mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$. A new list of numbers $y_1, y_2, \ldots, y_n$ is made as follows $y_1=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, y_2=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}$ and $y_j=x_j$ for $j=3,4, \ldots, n$.
