Let P(n) = 2. 42n+1+33n+1,

Then P(l) = 2. 43+ 34= 209, which is divisible

by 11 but not divisible by 2, 7 or 27. 

Further, let P(k)=242k+1+33k+1 is divisible 

by 11, i.e., 2.42k+1+33k+1=11q for some integer q. 

Now P(k+1)=242k+3+33k+4

=242k+142+33k+133=16242k+1+2733k+1=16242k+1+(16+11)33k+1=16242k+1+33k+1+1133k+1=1611q+1133k+1

=1116q+33k+1=11m

where m=16q+33k+1 is another integer. 

P(k+1)  is divisible by 11. 

P(n)=242n+1+33n+1 is divisible by 11 

for all n N.
