MCQ
If n is the positive integer, then $2^{3n} - 7n - 1$ is divisible by.
  • A
    7
  • B
    10
  • 49
  • D
    81

Answer

Correct option: C.
49
  1. 49
Solution:
Given: $2^{3 n}-7 n-1$. It can also be written as $8^n-7 n-1$
Let $8^n-7 n-1=0$
So, $8^n=7 n+1$
$8^n=(1+7)^n$
By applying binomial theorem, we get
$8 n-1-7 n=49$ (or) $2^{3 n}-7 n-1=49$
Hence, $2^{3 n}-7 n-1$ is divisible by 49 .
