Prove that one of the number n n+2 and n+4 is divisible by 3

Here's ur answer
By Euclid's division Lemma any natural number can be written as:
B=aq+r

where r = 0, 1, 2,.........(a-1). and q is the quotient.

put a = 3: b = 3q+r and r = 0,1,2.

thus any number is in the form of 3q , 3q+1 or 3q+2.

case I: if n =3q

n is divisible by 3,

n+2 = 3q+2 is not divisible by 3.

n+4 = 3q+4 = 3(q+1)+1 is not divisible by 3.

case II: if n =3q+1

n = 3q+1 is not divisible by 3.

n+2 = 3q+1+2=3q+3 = 3(q+1) is divisible by 3.

n+4 = 3q+1+4 = 3q+5 = 3(q+1)+2 is not divisible by 3.

case III: if n = 3q+2

n =3q+2 is not divisible by 3.

n+2 = 3q+2+2 =3q+4 = 3(q+1)+1 is not divisible by 3.

n+4 = 3q+2+4 = 3q+6 = 3(q+2) is divisible by 3.

thus one and only one out of n , n+2, n+4 is divisible by 3.

Hence,proved that n+2 and n+4 are divisible by 3

HOPE IT HELPS U:-)
