u 8

Q:

If x is a whole number, then x²(x² - 1) is always divisible by ?

A) 4B) 8C) 12D) None

Answer:   C) 12 

Explanation:

we can do this by trial and error method.

Putting x = 2,we get 2²(2² - 1) = 12.
checking with other integers, the above equation always gives a value which is a multiple of 12,
So, x²(x² - 1) is always divisible by 12.

Answer 2

Heya Mate !!!

Your Answer is ; 12.

Step by Step Explanation ;-
========================

This question can be solved by using trial and error method ;-

Let's Put Y = 2
Result = 2^2 (2^2-1) = 12.

Let's check with other integers ;-
Hola , the above questions is resulting the number 12.

So , y^2 ( y^2 - 1 ) seems always divisible by 12.

Hence , 12 is the right answer.
