(1) n^3 - n is a multiple of 3 (2) n^3 + 2n^2+ n is a multiple of 3 Option 1... n^3 -n = n(n^2 - 1) = n (N^2 - 1^2) = n (n + 1) ( n - 1) Option 2 ... n^3 + 2n^2+ n = n(n^2 + 2n + 1) = n (n+1) ( n + 1) now from option (2) . either n or (n+1) is multiple of 3. in any case n - 1 would not be a multiple...

Is |a| - |b| >= | a - b | ? (1) b > a (2) a > 0 Statement 1: b > a Say, a = 0 and b = 3 => |a| - |b| = -3 < |a - b| = 3 Say, a = -2 and b = 1 => |a| - |b| = 1 > |a - b| = 3 Not sufficient Statement 2: a > 0 Say, a = 1 and b = 2 => |a| - |b| = -1 < |a - b| = 1 Say, a = 1 and b = 0 => |a| - |b| = 1 =...
