    • A
      7
    • B
      10
    • C
      49
    • D
      81

    Answer

    1. 49

    Solution:

    Given: 23n - 7n - 1. It can also be written as 8n - 7n - 1

    Let 8n - 7n - 1 = 0

    So, 8n = 7n + 1

    8n = (1 + 7)n

    By applying binomial theorem, we get

    8n - 1 - 7n = 49 (or) 23n - 7n - 1 = 49

    Hence, 23n - 7n - 1 is divisible by 49.
