    For all integers \[n\ge 1,\]which of the following is divisible by 9?

    A) \[{{8}^{n}}+1\]     

    B)         \[{{4}^{n}}-3n-1\]

    C)         \[{{3}^{2n}}+3n+1\]           

    D)         \[{{10}^{n}}+1\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Now,                    \[{{4}^{n}}={{(1+3)}^{n}}\] \[=1+3n+\frac{n(n-1)}{2!}{{3}^{2}}+...\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[{{4}^{n}}-3n-1={{3}^{2}}\left[ \frac{n(n-1)}{2!}+... \right]\] It is dear from above that \[{{4}^{n}}-3n-1\] is    divisible by 9.
