:
C
P(1):12+1 is odd→not trueP(2):22+2 is odd→not true
Suppose P(k) is true.
k2+k is odd⇒k2+k=2m+1P(k+1):(k+1)2+(k+1)=(k2+2k+1)+(k+1)=(k2+k)+(2k+2)=2m+1+2k+22(m+k+1)+1⇒P(k+1) is true
:
B
Check through option, the condition
(n+12)n ≥ n ! is true for n ≥ 1.

C
Let n=1
n32=12; n33=13
Let n=2,⇒12+22=5
n32=4; n33=83
Let n=3,⇒12+22+32=14
n32=272; n33=9
Let n=4,⇒12+22+32+42=30
n32=32; n33=643

P(1) is true
Let P(k) be true.
⇒12+22+32+⋯+k2>k33
12+22+32+⋯+k2+(k+1)2>k33+k2+2k+1
=k3+3k2+6k+33

=(k+1)33+k+23
12+22+32+⋯+k2+(k+1)2>(k+1)33
P(k+1) is true.
P(n) is true ∀ n∈N
:
A
P(n):52n+1+3n+2.2n−1
P(1):53+33.1=152→divisible by 19
Assume P(k) is true.
52k+1+3k+2.2k−1is divisible by 1952k+1+3k+2.2k−1=19mP(k+1):52k+3+3k+3.2k=25.52k+1+6.3k+2.2k−1=6.(52k+1+3k+2.2k−1)+19.52k+1=19(6m+52k+1)
:
A
P(n):1+3+32+...+3n−1=3n−12P(1):1=3−12⇒1=1− true
Assume P(k) is true
⇒1+3+32+...+3k−1=3k−12Now, P(k+1):1+3+32+...+3k−1+3k=3k−12+3k=3k(1+12)−12=3k+1−12
P(k+1) is also true.
Hence, P(n) is true for all natural numbers
:
B
For the proof by mathematical induction to work, the statement P(n) must be true for a specific instance of a natural number.
Hence, if P(m) is true, where m is a specific natural number and P(k+1) is true if P(k) is true for an arbitrary natural number k, then, P(n) is true ∀ n≥m
Without the base case P(m), we cannot say that P(n) is true. Hence, the statement is false.
:
B
The principle of mathematical induction can be used to prove true statements P(n) about natural numbers if it is true for a specific natural number, 'm.' In this case, if proved using induction, P(n) will be true for all n≥m. 'm' need not be equal to 1.
:
A
P(n):1+3+5+...+2n−1=n2P(1):1=12⇒1=1− true
Assume P(k) is true
1+3+5+...+2k−1=k2Now, P(k+1):1+3+5+...+2n−1+2k+1=k2+2k+1=(k+1)2
P(k+1) is also true.
Hence, P(n) is true for all natural numbers
:
B
P(n):1.2+2.3+3.4+...+n(n+1)=(n+1)(n+2)3P(1):1.2=2.33⇒2=2− true
Assume P(k) is true
⇒1.2+2.3+3.4+...+k(k+1)=(k+1)(k+2)3Now, P(k+1):1.2+2.3+3.4+...+k(k+1)+(k+1)(k+2)=(k+1)(k+2)3+(k+1)(k+2)=4(k+1)(k+2)3≠(k+2)(k+3)3
P(k+1) is not true.
Hence, P(n) is not true for all natural numbers
:
A
P(n):a2n−b2n is divisible by a+b, ∀ n ϵ N
Since we need to prove P(n) for all natural numbers, the base case will be n=1.
Substituting n=1, we get
a2−b2=(a+b)(a−b) is divisible by a+b
