Let P(n) denote the statement that `n^2+n` is odd . It is seen that `P(n)rArr P(n+1),P(n)` is true for all

A

`n gt 1`

B

`n`

C

`n gt 2`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`P(n)=n^2+n`. It is always odd (statement) but square of any number is always odd and also , sum of two odd numbers is always even . So, for no any 'n' for which this statement is true.
