    Number

    It is being given that (232+ 1) is completely divisible by a whole number. Which of the following numbers is completely divisible by this number?

    ক)
    (216 + 1)
    খ)
    (216 - 1)
    গ)
    (7 x 223)
    ঘ)
    (296 + 1)

    Explanation

    Let 232 = x. Then, (232 + 1) = (x + 1). Let (x + 1) be completely divisible by the natural number N. Then, (296 + 1) = [(232)3 + 1] = (x3 + 1) = (x + 1)(x2 - x + 1), which is completely divisible by N, since (x + 1) is divisible by N.
