Prove that n^2 + 3n + 5 is not divisible by 121.
Hi Aritra,
Let us assume that n2+3n+5 is divisible by 121 for some value of n which is an integer.
So n2+3n+5 must be divisible by 11.
Hence [n2-8n+16 + 11n-11] must be divisible by 11
Or (n-4)2 + 11(n-1) must be divisible by 11.
As 11(n-1) is divisible by 11, then (n-4)2 must be divisible by 11.
Which is possible only when n-4 is divisible by 11.
Or n-4 = 11x --------(for some integer x)
or n = 4+11x
For this n, n2+3n+5 = 121x2+121x+33 = 121x(x+1) + 33.
Which gives a remainder of 33, when divided by 121. And hence cannot be divisible by 121.
And hence our assumption is incorrect.
Which means n2+3n+5, can never be divisible by 121.
Hope it helps.
