- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(7) No(11)
- ans is option b)square of a number -1 as rakesh had said earlier
@vikash 119 is divisible by 7 or 17 i.e. 7*17=119
& 3*4*5*6=360=361-1=19^2 -1 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
- Ans:B
1*2*3*4=5^2-1
2*3*4*5=11^2-1
3*4*5*6=19^2-1
4*5*6*7=29^2-1
....soon..
product of the four consecutive numbers=((first*last)+1)^2-1
ie:n*(n+1)*(n+2)*(n+3)=((n*(n+1))+1)^2-1

- a) prime no. +1
case I -> 1*2*3*4=23+1=24
case II -> 2*3*4*5=119+1=120
case III-> 3*4*5*6=359+1=360
case IV -> 4*5*6*7=719+1=720
5*6*7*8=1679+1=1680

here 23, 119,359,719,1679 all are prime no.
option B will be wrong because case III doesn't follow it and for option C case I doesn't follow it.... - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(10)
- 119 is not prime
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- every prime number is 6n+-1.
n(n+1)(n+2) is always divisible by 6.
thus +1 would be a prime number - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
