Heya !!
==================================
CASE l :
If n = 3q
=> n is divisible by 3.
CASE ll :
If n = 3q + 1
n + 2 =( 3q + 1) + 2
= 3q + 3
= 3(k+1)
=> n + 2 is divisible by 3.
CASE lll :
If n = 3k + 2
n + 4 = (3k + 2) + 4
= 3k + 6
= 4(k + 2)
=> n + 4 is divisible by 4.
Hence, exactly one of the numbers n, n+2 or n+4 is divisible by 3.
