Question 1.


Let P(n) denote the statement that n2 + n is odd. It


is seem that P(n)  ⇒ P(n + 1), Pn is true for all


  1.     n > 1
  2.     n
  3.     n > 2
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> None of these
:
D

P(n) = n2 + n. It is always odd (statement) but


square of any odd number is always odd and 


also, sum of odd number is always even. So


for no any 'n' for which this statement is true.


Question 2.


For natural number n, (n!)2 > nn, if


  1.     n > 3
  2.     n > 4
  3.     n 4
  4.     n 3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> n 3
:
D

Check through option, condition (n!)2 > nn is


true when n ≥ 3.


Question 3.


For every positive integral value of n, 3n > n3 when


  1.     n > 2
  2.     n3
  3.     n 4
  4.     n < 4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> n 4
:
C

Check through option, the condition 3n > n3 is


true when n ≥ 4.


Question 4.


If n is a natural number then (n+12)n ≥ n ! is true


when


  1.     n > 1
  2.     n 1
  3.     n > 2 
  4.     n2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> n 1
:
B

Check through option, the condition


 (n+12)n ≥ n ! is true for n  ≥ 1.


Question 5.


For positive integer n, 10n2 > 81n, if


  1.     n > 5
  2.     n 5
  3.     n < 5
  4.     n > 6
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> n 5
:
B

Check through option, the condition


10n2 > 81n is satisfied if n ≥ 5.


Question 6.


For every positive integer n, 2n < n! when


  1.     n < 4
  2.     n 4
  3.     n < 3
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> n 4
:
B

Check through option, the condition 2n < n! is


true when n ≥ 4.


Question 7.


For every natural number n, n(n21) is divisible by


 


  1.     4
  2.     6
  3.     10
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 6
:
B

n(n21) = (n - 1)(n)(n + 1)


It is product of three consecutive natural


numbers, so according to Langrange's theorem


it is divisible by 3 ! i.e., 6.


Question 8.


For every natural number n


  1.     n>2n
  2.     n<2n
  3.     n2n
  4.     Can't be determined.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> n<2n
:
B

Let n = 1 then option (a) and (d) is eliminated.


Equality can't be attained for any value of n so,


option (b) satisfied.


Question 9.


If n ∈ N, then 72n + 23n3.3n1 is always divisible by


 


  1.     25
  2.     35
  3.     45
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 25
:
A

Putting n = 1 in 72n+23n3.3n1


=50, divisible by 25


Question 10.


If n ∈ N, then x2n1+y2n1 is divisible by 


  1.     x + y
  2.     x - y
  3.     x2 + y2
  4.     x2+xy
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> x + y
:
A

x2n1+y2n1 is always contain equal odd power.


So it is always divisible by x + y.
