Detailed Solution

Let S(n)=2·42n+1+33n+1 is divisible by 11

put n = 1

=2·42(1)+1+33(1)+1=2(64)+81=209

=11×(19) is divisible by 11

S(1) is true

Assume S(k) is true for some kN

2.4(2k+1)+3(3k+1) is divisible by 11

242k+1+33k+1=11m                   (where mz )

2.42k+1=11m33k+1                   .... (1)

to prove S(n) is true for n=k+1

242(k+1)+1+33(k+1)+1

=242k+2+1+33k+3+1

=242k+142+33k+133

=11m33k+1(16)+33k+127       (from (1))

=11m(16)33k+1(16)+33k+1(27)

=11m(16)+1133k+1

1116m+33k+1 is divisible by 11

S(k+1) is true

By the principle of finite mathematical induction
S(n) is true nN.
