A) \[m-n\]is divisible by 5
B) mn is divisible by 25
C) \[m+n\]divisible by 10
D) \[{{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}\]is divisible by 25
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
[c] Rule \[m+n\] is divisible by 10 does not hold true in the given case. e.g. 35, 10 are integers divisible by 5 but \[35+10=45,\]which is not divisible by 10. |
Alternate method |
Since, m and n are divisible by 5. |
\[\therefore \] \[m=5x\]and \[n=5y\]for some integers x and y |
Now, \[m+n=5\,(x+y)\] |
\[\therefore \]\[m+n\]is divisible by 5. |
\[mn=25xy\] |
\[\therefore \]\[mn\]is divisible by 25. |
\[{{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}=25\,({{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}})\] |
\[\therefore \]\[{{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}\]is divisible by 25. |
\[m+n=5\,(x+y)\] which is not divisible by 10. |
