    If A and B are different integers, both divisible by 5, then which of the following is not necessarily true?

    A)  (A + B) is divisible by 5.

    B)  (A + B) is divisible by 10.

    C)  (A - B) is divisible by 5.

    D)  \[{{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}\] is divisible by 5.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

         Let the numbers be A = 5 m and \[B=5n,\,\,m,\,n\in I\]. A + B = 5(m + n) which is divisible by 5. A - B = 5(m - n) which is divisible by 5. \[{{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}=25({{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}})\] which is divisible by 5. Let m = 2, n = 3 then A + B = 25 which is not divisible by 10.
