The difference of the squares of two consecutive even integers is divisible by which of the following integers ?
A. 3
B. 4
C. 6
D. 7
E. None of these
Answer: Option B
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Let the two consecutive even integers be 2n and (2n + 2). Then,(2n + 2)2 - (2n)2 = (2n + 2 + 2n) (2n + 2 - 2n)
= 2(4n + 2)
= 4(2n + 1), which is divisible by 4
