Open in App
Solution

2(7)m+3(5)m5=P(n)
divisible by 24=4×natural no
for n=1 P(n)= true for n=1
P(k+1)=27k+1+35k+15
2.2×7k+5.3.5k5=24 m
7×24 m6.5k+30
7×24 m6(5k5)
(5k5) is a multiple of 4
=7×24 m6(4p)
P is a natural No
=7×24 m24P
=24(7 mP)=24×r
r=7 m=P is some natural No P(k+1) is true whenever P(k) is true.
