Question: 2

The product of any three consecutive natural numbers is always divisible by

(A) 3

(B) 5

(C) 6

(D) 10

Ans: C

Let the required product be n (n +1 ) (n + 2). Then

n = 1 ⇒ n (n + 1) (n + 2) = (1 × 2 × 3) = 6.

n = 2 ⇒ n (n + 1) (n + 2) = (2 × 3 × 4) = 24.

n = 3 ⇒ n (n + 1) (n + 2) = (3 × 4 × 5) = 60.

So, each support product is divisible by 6.

Question: 3

If n be any natural number then by which largest number (n3 - n) is always divisible?

(A) 2

(B) 4

(C) 6

(D) 7

Ans: C

(13 - 1) = 0, (23 - 2) = 6, (33 - 3) = 24, (43 - 4) = 60 and

So on, each one of which is divisible by 6.

(A) 1

(B) 2

(C) 6

(D) 7

Ans: C

$$({1}/{5})$$2000 = (0.2)2000

Last digit of (0.2)2000 = Last digit of (0.2)4 = 6.
