if `a_(1)b_(1)c_(1), a_(2)b_(2)c_(2)" and " a_(3)b_(3)c_(3)` are three-digit even natural numbers and `Delta = |{:(c_(1),,a_(1),,b_(1)),(c_(2),,a_(2),,b_(2)),(c_(3),,a_(3),,b_(3)):}|" then " Delta ` isA. divisible by 2 but not necessarily by 4B. divisible by 4 but not necessarily by 8C. divisible by 8D. none of these |

Answer» Correct Answer - A As ` a_(1) ,b_(1),C_(1) , a,b,c " and " a_(3) ,b_(3) ,c_(3) ` are even natural numbers , each of `C_(1),C_(2),C_(3)` is divisible by 2, Let `C_(i) = 2k_(i) " for " i=1,2,3` thus `Delta = 2 |{:(k_(1),,a_(1),,b_(1)),(k_(2),,a_(2),,b_(2)),(k_(3),,a_(3),,b_(3)):}|=2m` Where m is some natural number. thus `Delta ` is divisible by 2. That `Delta ` may not be divisible by 4 can be seen by taking the three numbers as 112, 122 and 134 Note that `Delta =|{:(2,,1,,1),(2,,1,,2),(4,,1,,3):}|=2` Which is divisible by 2 but not 4 |
