34. (a) Statement 2 : Hence, when divided by 9 leaves 2 as the remainder.
P ( n ) : n 7 - n is divisible by 7 37. (b) From statement 2:
Put n = 1, 1 – 1 = 0 is divisible by 7, which is true n n n

7. = nx (1+ x) n–1 + (1+ x) n = RHS
Since 7 is coprime with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. \ Statement 2 is correct.
Putting x = 1, we get
So 7 C1 , 7 C 2 , ......7 C 6 are all divisible by 7
n
\ P(k + 1) is divisible by 7
å (r + 1)n Cr = n × 2n –1 + 2n = (n + 2) × 2n –1.
Hence P(n) : n7 – n is divisible by 7 r =0

Statement 1 : n - n is divisible by 7
7 \ Statement 1 is also true and statement 2 is a correct
explanation for statement 1.
Þ ( n + 1) 7 - ( n + 1) is divisible by 7 38. (b) Tr + 1 = (–1)r. nCr (a)n – r. (b)r is an expansion

Þ ( n + 1) 7 - n7 - 1 is divisible by 7 6th term = t6 = t5+1 = (–1)5 nC5 (a)n–5 (b)5
