    If\[n\in N\], then\[{{7}^{2n}}+{{2}^{3n-3}}\]. \[{{3}^{n-1}}\] is always divisible by [IIT 1982]

    A) 25

    B) 35

    C) 45

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Putting \[n=1\] in \[{{7}^{2n}}+{{2}^{3n-3}}{{.3}^{n-1}}\] then, \[{{7}^{2\times 1}}+{{2}^{3\times 1-3}}{{.3}^{1-1}}\]      = \[{{7}^{2}}+{{2}^{0}}{{.3}^{0}}=49+1=50\]       ......(i) Also, \[n=2\] \[{{7}^{2\times 2}}+{{2}^{3\times 2-3}}{{.3}^{2-1}}\]= \[2401+24=2425\]       ......(ii) From (i) and (ii) it is always divisible by 25.
