is divisible by
  1. (A)34 but not by 14✓ Correct
  2. (B)both 14 and 34
  3. (C)neither 14 nor 34
  4. (D)14 but not by 34

Answer: (A)

Solution

Group the terms as . Since is divisible by and , each bracket is divisible by , so the whole expression is divisible by . The parity is oddoddeveneven, which is even, so the expression is also divisible by , and hence by .

For , work modulo : . With and , , so the expression . It is not divisible by , hence not by .

Therefore the expression is divisible by but not by .
