Step-by-step explanation:
yes
now we will take example
ex-1)integer=6
5q+2=6
so it is false
2)integer=12
5q+2=12
5q=12-2
5q=10
q=5
here it is possible
but sometimes it is not possible
so,this is the proof
please mark as branliest answer

Answer:
Number divisible by 5 can be of the form :
d = 5m + r
where, 0 ≤ r < 5
If d = 5m, d² = 5q
where q is some integer and q = 5m²
If d = 5m + 1, d² = 5q + 1
If d = 5m + 2, d² = 5q + 4
If d = 5m + 3, d² = 5q + 4
If d = 5m + 4, d² = 5q +1
Therefore, the square of any positive integer cannot be in the form of 5q + 2 or 5q + 3 for any integer 'q'.
