Then by euclid's division lemma, we have,a=bq+r, where 0≤r<bNow, for b=3, we get,a=3q+r, where 0≤r<3.....(i)SO, the nos. are of form 3q,3q+1 and 3q+2.Therefore, 3q2=9q2=3(3q2)=3m, where m is an integer. 3q+12=9q2+6q+1=3(3q2+2q)+1=3m+1, where m is an integer.and 3q+22=9q2+12q+4 whichcannot be expressed in the form of 3m+2.Thus, square of any +ve integer cannot be expressed in the form of 3m+2. Sol 22) Let three consecutive +ve integers be n,n+1 and n+2.Whenever a no. is divided by 3, the remainder obtained is either 0, or 1 or 2.therefore, n=3p or 3p+1 or 3p+2 , where p is any integer.Now, if n=3p, then n is divisible by 3.if n=3p+1, then n+2=3p+1+2=3p+3=3(p+1) is divisible by 3.if n=3p+2, then n+1=3p+1+2=3p+3=3(p+1) is divisible by 3.Thus, one of numbers among n, n+1 and N=2 is always divisibleby 3.
