    Question

    Consider the following in respect of the polynomial x4k+ x4k+2+ x4k+4+ x4k+6.

    1. The remainder is zero when the polynomial is divided by x2+ 1.

    2. The remainder is zero when the polynomial is divided by x4+ 1.

    Which of the statements given above is / are correct ?

    A.

    1 only

    B.

    2 only

    C.

    Both 1 and 2

    D.

    Neither 1 nor 2

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    x4k+ x4k+2+ x4k+4+ x4k+6.

    Solution:

    We have,

    x4k+ x4k+2+ x4k+4+ x4k+6

    => x4k (x0 + x2) + x4k+4 (x0 + x2)

    => ( x4k+ x4k+4) (x0 + x2)

    => x4k (x+ x4(x0 + x2)

    => x4k (1+ x4) (1+ x2)

    After factorizing the polynomial, we can see the given polynomial is a multiple of (1 + x2) and (1 + x4).

    Thus, the given polynomial is divisible by both (1 + x2) and (1 + x4).

    Hence, both statements are correct.

    ∴ The correct answer is option (c).
