If \(a, b\) and \(n\) are natural numbers, then \(a^{2 n-1}+b^{2 n-1}\) is divisible by

  1. A \(a+b\)
  2. B \(a-b\)
  3. C \(a^3+b^3\)
  4. D \(a^2+b^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(a+b\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here, we see that \((2 n-1)\) is an odd number \(\therefore a^{2 n-1}+b^{2 n-1}\) is divisible by \(a+b\).
