Question

If 49n+16n+λ is divisible by 64 for all nN, then the least negative integral value of λ, is

Moderate
Solution

For n=1,we have

49n+16n+λ=49+16+λ=65+λ

=64+(λ+1), which is divisible by 64 if λ=1.

For n=2 we have

49n+16n+λ=492+16×2+λ=2433+λ

=(64×38)+(λ+1),which is divisible by 64 if λ=1

Hence, λ=1.
