Let n ∈ N which one of the following is true?

Let n∈Nn \in N which one of the following is true?

Options

  1. A47n+16n−147^n+16 n-1 is divisible by 4
  2. B2(42n+1)−33n+12\left(4^{2 n+1}\right)-3^{3 n+1} is divisible by 9
  3. C4n−3n−14^n-3 n-1 is divisible by 11
  4. D3(52n+1)+23n+13\left(5^{2 n+1}\right)+2^{3 n+1} is divisible by 17

Correct answer

D. 3(52n+1)+23n+13\left(5^{2 n+1}\right)+2^{3 n+1} is divisible by 17
