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.
