    Question

    For all natural number n, 6n2 + 6n is divisible by

    A.

    6 only

    B.

    12 only

    C.

    6 and 12 both

    D.

    18 only

    Correct option is C

    Given:-
    6n2+6n\text6n^2 + 6n
    Formula Used:-
    Factorization:
    a2+ab=a(a+b)\text a^2 + ab = a(a + b)​​
    Divisibility rules:
    A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3
    A number is divisible by 12 if it is divisible by both 4 and 3.
    Solution:-
    For  n=1:
    6(12)+6(1)\text 6(1^2) + 6(1) = 12 ( Divisible by both 6 and 12 but not by 18)
    For n=2:
    6(22)+6(2)\text 6(2^2) + 6(2)= 36 ( Divisible by both 6 and 12 and also by 18)
    For n =3:
    6(32)+6(3)\text 6(3^2) + 6(3) = 72 ( Divisible by both 6 and 12 and also by 18) 
    As natural number = 1, 2, 3,........ 
    So, ​6n2+6n\text6n^2 + 6n will always be divisible by 6 and 12 
    Hence, option (c) 6 and 12 both is the correct answer.
