Correct answer: D
-
Let We need to check divisibility by and by .
-
Check divisibility by . Since , it is enough to check modulo because is clearly even:
- is odd
- is odd
- is even
- is even So odd odd even even even.
Now reduce modulo : Thus Now, so those two terms cancel. Also, Hence So is not divisible by , hence not divisible by .
- Check divisibility by . Since , again is even, so it remains to check modulo .
Reduce modulo : Therefore So is divisible by . Since is also even, it follows that is divisible by .
- Conclusion:
- Not divisible by
- Divisible by
Therefore the correct option is
- Comparison with stored answer: Stored correct answer is D, which matches our result.
