MCQ
If n is the positive integer, then 23n - 7n - 1 is divisible by.
- A7
- B10
- C49
- D81
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.
