  2. B( 72 ) is divisible by ( 2 ) or ( 72 ) is divisible by ( 3 )
  3. C( 72 ) is divisible by ( 2 ) and ( 72 ) is divisible by ( 3 )
  4. D( 72 ) is not divisible by ( 2 ) and ( 3 )

Correct answer

A. ( 72 ) is not divisible by ( 2 ) or ( 72 ) is not divisible by ( 3 )

Step-by-step solution

We have, (p: 72 ) is divisible by 2 and 3 . Let ( q : 72 ) is divisible by 2 . r: 72 is divisible by 3 . ( q : 72 ) is not divisible by 2 . ( ) r. 72 is not divisible by 3 . ( q f)- q r ) ( 72 ) is not divisible by 2 or 72 is not divisible by 3 .
