If nn is a positive integer, then 2⋅42n+1+33n+12 \cdot 4^{2 n+1}+3^{3 n+1} is divisible by

Options

  1. A22
  2. B99
  3. C1111
  4. D2727

Correct answer

C. 1111

Step-by-step solution

Given expression, p(n)=2⋅42n+1+33n+1p(n)=2 \cdot 4^{2 n+1}+3^{3 n+1} Let n=1p(1)=2⋅42+1+33+1=209n=1p(1)=2 \cdot 4^{2+1}+3^{3+1}=209 which is divisible by 11 . Let p(k)p(k) is also divisible by 11 . p(k)=2⋅42k+1+33k+1p(k)=2 \cdot 4^{2 k+1}+3^{3 k+1} is divisibly by 11 ...(i) Now we will prove that p(k+1)p(k+1) is true. p(k+1)=2⋅42(k+1)+1+33(k+1)+1p(k+1)=2 \cdot 4^{2(k+1)+1}+3^{3(k+1)+1}=2⋅42k+1⋅16+33k+1⋅27=2⋅42k+1⋅16+33k+1⋅16+33k+1⋅11=16(2⋅42k+1+33k+1)+33k+1⋅11\begin{aligned} & =2 \cdot 4^{2 k+1} \cdot 16+3^{3 k+1} \cdot 27 \\ & =2 \cdot 4^{2 k+1} \cdot 16+3^{3 k+1} \cdot 16+3^{3 k+1} \cdot 11 \\ & =16\left(2 \cdot 4^{2 k+1}+3^{3 k+1}\right)+3^{3 k+1} \cdot 11\end{aligned}$Divisibleby11fromEq.(i)Divisible by 11 from Eq. (i)\therefore p(k+1)isalsotrue.is also true.\therefore p(n)$ is divisible by 11 .
