Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 9

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(P(n): 4^n+15 n-1\) is divisible by 9 . For \(n=1, P(1)=4^1+15 \times 1-1=18\), which is divisible by 9 . \(\therefore P(1)\) is true. Let \(P(k)\) be true. Then, \(4^k+15 k-1\) is divisible by 9 . \(\Rightarrow 4^k+15 k-1=9 \lambda\), for some \(\lambda \in N\). We shall…
