A student was asked to prove a statement P(n)P(n) by induction. He proved that P(k+1)P(k+1) is true whenever P(k)P(k) is true for all k>5∈Nk>5 \in \mathrm{N} and also that P(5)P(5) is true. On the basis of this he could conclude that P(n)P(n) is true
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
for all n≥5n \geq 5
Option C (for all n≥5n \geq 5) is correct because the base case is P(5) and the inductive step holds for k > 5, meaning it holds for all n greater than or equal to 5.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
11
Option C (11) is correct because the expression 2⋅42n+1+33n+12 \cdot 4^{{2n+1}} + 3^{{3n+1}} is divisible by 11 for all positive integers n, which can be proven using mathematical induction.

Let P(n)P\left( n \right) denotes the statement that n2+n{n^2} + n is odd. It is seen that P(n)⇒P(n+1),  P(n)P\left( n \right) \Rightarrow P\left( {n + 1} \right),\;P\left( n \right) is true for all
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
None of these
Option D (None of these) is correct because n2+n{n^2} + n is always even, not odd, so the statement P(n)P(n) is never true.

Let S(K)=1+3+5…+(2K−1)=3+K2S(K)=1+3+5 \ldots+(2 K-1)=3+K^2. Then which of the following is true
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
S(K)⇒S(K+1)S(K) \Rightarrow S(K+1)
Option B (S(K)⇒S(K+1)S(K) \Rightarrow S(K+1)) is correct because even though S(1) is not true, the implication from S(K) to S(K+1) holds, meaning if S(K) were true, then S(K+1) would also be true.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
(13,5)\left(\frac{1}{3}, 5\right)
Option B ((13,5)\left(\frac{1}{3}, 5\right)) is correct because solving the inequality ∣2x−3∣<∣x+2∣|2x-3| < |x+2| involves considering different cases based on the signs of 2x−32x-3 and x+2x+2, and the solution is the intersection of the solutions from each case.

S(k)⇒S(k+1)S\left( k \right) \Rightarrow S\left( {k + 1} \right)
Option B (S(k)⇒S(k+1)S(k) \Rightarrow S(k + 1)) is correct because if we assume S(k)S(k) is true, we can show that S(k+1)S(k+1) is also true.

Correct option: C
I is true, II is true and is a correct explanation for I
I is false, II is true. The principle of mathematical induction applies only to natural numbers, not to all real numbers greater than or equal to 1.

Let P(n):n2+n+1P\left( n \right):{n^2} + n + 1 is an even integer. If P(k)P\left( k \right) is assumed true ⇒P(k+1)\Rightarrow P\left( {k + 1} \right) is true. Therefore, P(n)P\left( n \right) is true
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
None of these
Option D (None of these) is correct because the statement P(n) is not true for n=1, thus the principle of mathematical induction cannot be applied.
