case 1 - let a is divisible by 3

so a+2 cannot be divisible by 3 as 2 is not a multiple of 3 .

similarly a+4 is not divisible by 3 .

case 2- let a+2 is divisible by 3

so a is not divisible by 3 as 2 is not a multiple of 3 and subtracting a number other than its multiple from its dividient cannot be a it's multiple.

similarly we can prove for a+4 .
