Solution

The correct options are
A

The integer just above it is an even number


B

The integer above it is divisible by


(3+1)2 = (4 + 23) = 2(2+3)

(3+1)2n = 2n(2+3)n

Consider (31)

0 < (31) < 1

⇒ 0 < (31)n < 1

Also, (31)2n = (423)n = 2n(23)n

Let 2n(2+3)n = I + f, where I is the integral part and f is the fractional part.

Let 2n(23)n = f' , 0 < f' < 1

I + f + f' = (3+1)2n + (31)2n

= 2n[(2+3)n+(23)n]

= 2n[2(nC0 2n) + nC22n2(3)2 + ............)]

= 2n+1K, where_k_is_a_positive_integer)

0 < f + f' < 2

For I + f + f' to be an integer f + f' should also be an integer. The only integer value it

can take is 1.

I + f + f' is an even integer ⇒ I is an odd integer

The integer just above (3+1)2n is 2n+1 K

⇒ A & B
