‘The cube of a natural number of the form 3n + 1 is a natural number of the same form i.e. when divided by 3 it leaves the remainder 1’.
Solution:
3n + 1
Let n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, then
If n = 1, then 3n +1= 3 x 1+1= 3+1= 4
If n = 2, then 3n +1=3 x 2+1=6+1=7
If n = 3, then 3n + 1= 3 x 3 + 1= 9 + 1 = 10
If n = 4, then 3n + 1= 3 x 4+1 = 12 + 1= 13
If n = 5, then 3n +1=3 x 5 + 1 = 15 +1 = 16
Now
(4)3 = 4 x 4 x 4 = 64
Which is $$\frac {64 }{ 3 }$$=21, Remainder = 1
(7)3 = 7 x 7 x 7 = 343
Which is $$\frac {343 }{ 3 }$$ =114, Remainder = 1
(10)3 = 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000 ÷ 3 = 333, Remainder = 1
(13)3 = 13 x 13 x 13 = 2197 ÷ 3 = 732, Remainder = 1
(16)3 = 16 x 16 x 16 = 4096 ÷ 3 = 1365, Remainder = 1
Hence cube of natural number of the form, 3n + 1, is a natural of the form 3n + 1

Question 6.

‘The cube of a natural number of the form 3n + 2 is a natural number of the same form i.e. when it is dividend by 3 the remainder is 2’.
Solution:
Natural numbers of the form 3n + 2, when n
is a natural number i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,………….
If n = 1, then 3n + 2 = 3 x 1+2 = 3+ 2 = 5
If n = 2, then 3n + 2 = 3 x 2 + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8
If n = 3, then 3n + 2 = 3 x 3 + 2 = 9 + 2 = 11
If n = 4, then 3n + 2 = 3 x 4 + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14
and if n = 5, then 3n + 2 = 3 x 5 + 2 = 15 + 2= 17
Now (5)3 = 5 x 5 x 5 = 125
125 + 3 = 41, Remainder = 2
(8)2 = 8 x 8 x 8 = 512 512 -s- 3 = 170, Remainder = 2
(11)3 = 11 x 11 x 11 = 1331
1331 + 3 = 443, Remainder = 2
(14)3 = 14 x 14 x 14 = 2744
2744 + 3 = 914, Remainder = 2
(17)3 = 17 x 17 x 17 = 4913
4913 = 3 = 1637, Remainder = 2
We see the cube of the natural number of the
form 3n + 2 is also a natural number of the

(14)3 = (2 x 7)3 = 23 x 73, which is multiple of 73
(21)3 = (3 x 7)3 = 33 x 73, which is multiple of 73
(28)3 = (4 x 7)3 = 43 x 73, which is multiple of 73 (35)3 = (5 x 7)3 = 53 x 73 which is multiple of 73

Question 22.
By taking three different values of n verify the truth of the following statements :
(i) If n is even, then n3 is also even.
(ii) If n is odd, then n3 is also odd.
(iii) If n leaves remainder 1 when divided by 3, then it3 also leaves 1 as remainder when divided by 3.
(iv) If a natural number n is of the form 3p + 2 then n3 also a number of the same type.
Solution:
(i) n is even number.
Let n = 2, 4, 6 then
(a) n3 = (2)3 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8, which is an even number.
(b) (n)3= (4)3 = 4 x 4 x 4 = 64, which is an even number.
(c) (n)3 = (6)3 = 6 x 6 x 6 = 216, which is an even number.

(ii) n is odd number.
Letx = 3, 5, 7
(a) (n)3 = (3)3 = 3 x 3 x 3 = 27, which is an odd number.
(b) (n)3 = (5)3 = 5 x 5 x 5 = 125, which is an odd number.
(c) (n)3 = (7)3 = 7 x 7 x 7 = 343, which is an odd number.

(iii) If n leaves remainder 1 when divided by 3, then n3 is also leaves 1 as remainder,
Let n = 4, 7, 10 If n = 4,
then «3 = (4)3 = 4 x 4 x 4 = 64
= 64 + 3 = 21, remainder = 1
If n = 7, then
n3 = (7)3 = 7 x 7 x 7 = 343
343 + 3 = 114, remainder = 1
If n – 10, then
(n)3 = (10)3 = 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000
1000 + 3 = 333, remainder = 1

(iv) If the natural number is of the form 3p + 2, then n3 is also of the same type
Let p =’1, 2, 3, then
(a) If p = 1, then
n = 3p + 2 = 3 x 1+2=3+2=5
∴ n3 = (5)3 = 5 x 5 x 5 = 125
125 = 3 x 41 + 2 = 3p +2

(b) If p = 2, then
n = 3p + 2 = 3 x 2 + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8
∴ n3 = (8)3 = 8 x 8 x 8 = 512
∴ 512 = 3 x 170 + 2 = 3p + 2

(c) If p = 3, then
n = 3p + 2 = 3 x 3 + 2 = 9 + 2 = 11
∴ n3 = (11)3 = 11 x 11 x 11 = 1331
and 1331 =3 x 443 + 2 = 3p + 2
Hence proved.

(i) 0 392 is a perfect cube.
(ii) 8640 is not a perfect cube.
(iii) No cube can end with exactly two zeros.
(iv) There is no perfect cube which ends in 4.
(v) For an integer a, a3 is always greater than a> b2
(vi) If a and b are integers such that a> b2 , then a3 > b3.
(x) If a2 ends in an even number of zeros, then a ends in an odd number of zeros.
Solution:

∵ 5 is left.
(iii)True : A number ending three zeros can be a perfect cube.
(iv) False : v (4)3 = 4 x 4 x 4 = 64, which ends with 4.
(v) False : If n is a proper fraction, it is not possible.
(vi) False : It is not true if a and b are proper fraction.
(vii) True.
(viii) False : as a2 ends in 9, then a3 does not necessarily ends in 7. It ends in 3 also.
(ix) False : it is not necessarily that a3 ends in 25 it can end also in 75.
(x) False : If a2 ends with even zeros, then a3 will ends with odd zeros but of multiple of 3.
