MCQ
Let $P(m)$ be the statement $\mathrm{m}^2>100$, the statement $P(k+1)$ will be true if:
  • A
    P(1) is true
  • B
    P(2) is true
  • P(k) is true
  • D
    none of these

Answer

Correct option: C.
P(k) is true
  1. P(k) is true
Solution:
$\Rightarrow r^2>100 \Rightarrow r^2+2 r+1>100+2 r+1 \\
& \Rightarrow(r+1)^2>100 \\
& \Rightarrow P(r+1) \text { is true as } \\
& \left.r^2+(2 r+1)>r^2>100 \Rightarrow P(k+1) \text { is true (say } r=k\right)$
$P(k+1)$ is true when every $p(k)$ is
So, In order to prove that $P(k+1)$ is true.
It is sufficient to consider $\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{k})$ is true.
