Sol. Let S(n) be the statement.

 + 16n – 1 is divisible by 64.

 + 16n – 1 is divisible by 64 for all positive integers n.

 + 16.1 – 1 = 64 is divisible by 64.

Assume that the statement S(n) is true for n = k

 + 16n – 1 is divisible by 64

 + 16k – 1 = 64 M ...(1)

(∵ M is an integer)

We show that the statement S(n) is true for n = k + 1

i.e. we show that 49k+1 + 16(k+1) – 1 is divisible by 64.

× 49 = (64 M – 16k + 1) × 49

49k+1 + 16(k + 1) – 1 = (64M – 16k + 1)49 + 16(k + 1) – 1

= 64× 49 M – 49 × 16k + 49 + 16k + 16 – 1

= 64 × 49 M – 48 × 16k + 64

= 64 × 49 M – 64 × 12k + 64

= 64 N [∵ N is an integer]

∴S(n) is true for n = k + 1

∴ By the principle of mathematical induction, S(n) is true for all n ∈N.

24. If f : A→B is a bijection then show that f –1of = IA

 Since f : A→B is bijection we have its inverse f –1 : B→A is also a bijection.

 f : A→B and f –1 : B→A then f –1of : A→A

 Let a ∈A, since f–1 : B→A is onto, there exists b∈B such that f–1(b) = a⇒f(a) = b.

 (f–1of)(a) = f–1(f(a)) = f–1(b) = a = IA

 f–1: B→ A and f : A B fof–1 : B→B.

 Let b∈B, since f : A→B is onto, there exists a∈A such that f(a) = bf–1(b) = a.

 (fof–1)(b) = f(f–1(b)) = f(a) = b = IB
