We know that any positive integer is of the form 3q or, 3q+or 3q+2 for some integer q and one and only one of these possiblities can occur.

So, we have following cases:

Case-I:When n = 3q

In this case, we have

n= 3q, which is divisible by 3

Now, n = 3q

n+2 = 3q+2

n+2 leaves remainder 2 when divided by 3

Again, n = 3q

n+4 = 3q+4=3(q+1)+1

n+4 leaves remainder 1 when divided by 3

n+4 is not divisible by 3.

Thus, n is divisible by 3 but n+2 and n+4 are not divisible by 3.

Case-II:when n = 3q+1

In this case, we have

n= 3q+1,

n leaves remainder 1 when divided by 3.

n is divisible by 3

Now, n = 3q+1

n+2 = (3q+1)+2=3(q+1)

n+2 is divisible by 3.

Again, n = 3q+1

n+4 = 3q+1+4=3q+5=3(q+1)+2

n+4 leaves remainder 2 when divided by 3

n+4 is not divisible by 3.

Thus, n+2 is divisible by 3 but n and n+4 are not divisible by 3.

Case-III: When n + 3q+2

In this case, we have

n= 3q+2

n leaves remainder 2 when divided by 3.

n is not divisible by 3.

Now, n = 3q+2

n+2 = 3q+2+2=3(q+1)+1

n+2 leaves remainder 1 when divided by 3

n+2 is not divisible by 3.

Again, n = 3q+2

n+4 = 3q+2+4=3(q+2)

n+4 is divisible by 3.

Thus, n+4 is divisible by 3 but n and n+2 are not divisible by 3.
