Question: ’n’ is selected form the set $ {1,2,3…,100} $ and the number $ 2^{n}+3^{n}+5^{n} $ is formed. Total number of ways of selecting ’n’ so that the formed number is divisible by 4, is equal to

Options:

A) 50

B) 49

C) 48

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • [b] If n is odd, $ 3^{n}=4{\lambda_1}-1,5^{n}=4{\lambda_2}+1 $

$ \Rightarrow 2^{n}+3^{n}+5^{n} $ is not divisible by 4, as $ 2^{n}+3^{n}+5^{n} $ will be in the form of $ 4\lambda +2. $ Thus total number of ways of selecting ?n? is equal to 49.
