Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : (X + Y) is divisible by 14 Given: X and Y is multiple of 7 Concept Used: If the number is a multiple of given number then the number is also divisible by the given number Calculation: It is given in the question that X and Y are multiples of 7 ∴ X = 7m and Y = 7n Now, let check first option (X2 + Y2) is divisible by 7 ∴ (X2 + Y2) = ((7m)2 + (7n)2) = 49 (m2 + n2), which is divisible by 7 Now, let check second option (X2 - Y2) is divisible by 7 ∴ (X2 - Y2) = ((7m)2 - (7n)2) = 49 (m2 - n2), which is divisible by 7 Now, let check third option (X + Y) is divisible by 14 ∴ (X + Y) = ((7m) + (7n)) = 7 (m + n), which is divisible by 7 but not necessarily by 14 So, option third is incorrect Hence, option (3) is correct |
