Among the statements : ( S 1 ) : 2023 2022 - 1999 2022 is divisible by 8 . ( S 2 ) : 13 ( 13 ) n - 11 n - 13 is divisible by 144 for infinitely many n ∈ ℕ
Options
- AOnly S 2 is correct
- BOnly ( S 1 ) is correct
- CBoth S 1 and S 2 are correct
- DBoth S 1 and S 2 are incorrect
Correct answer
B. Only ( S 1 ) is correct
Step-by-step solution
Given, ( S 1 )   :   ( 2023 ) 2022 - ( 1999 ) 2022 is divisible by 8 Now we know that ( x - y ) divides x n - y n   ∀ n ∈ ℕ So, 2023 - 1999 divides ( 2023 ) 2022 - ( 1999 ) 2022 ⇒   24 divides ( 2023 ) 2022 - ( 1999 ) 2002 ⇒   8 will divide ( 2023 ) 2022 - ( 1999 ) 2002 As 8 divides 24 Hence, S 1 is correct Now solving, S 2   :   13 13 n - 11 n - 13 is divisible by 144 for n ∈ ℕ So using binomial theorem in 1 + 12 n we get, 13 1 + 12 n - 1
