- Bis not divisible by
- C
- Dis divisible by
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- Find
Given
Using
we get
So,
- Compute the sum
We need
Now,
Hence,
Using standard formulas,
So,
Therefore,
Take common:
Simplify inside the bracket:
Hence,
So it is of the form
with
Since , is already least.
- Check each option
Option A
is not divisible by .
So, A is false.
Option B
Check divisibility by :
But the statement says "not divisible".
So, B is false.
Option C
Left side:
Right side:
Since ,
So, C is false.
Option D
Check divisibility by :
So, D is true.
- Conclusion
The correct option is
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: D
Our derived answer matches the stored answer.
