  • Question
  • If x is a whole number, then x²(x² - 1) is always divisible by ?


  • Options
  • A. 4
  • B. 8
  • C. 12
  • D. None

  • Correct Answer
  • 12 

    Explanation

    we can do this by trial and error method.

    Putting x = 2,we get 2²(2² - 1) = 12.
    checking with other integers, the above equation always gives a value which is a multiple of 12,
    So, x²(x² - 1) is always divisible by 12.
