Among the statements:
(S1): $2023^{2022}-1999^{2022}$ is divisible by 8 .
$(\mathrm{S} 2): 13(13)^n-11 \mathrm{n}-13$ is divisible by 144 for infinitely many $\mathrm{n} \in \mathrm{N}$.
Select the correct option:
A
both (S1) and (S2) are incorrect
B
only (S2) is correct
C
both (S1) and (S2) are correct
D
only (S1) is correct

Solution
Sol.
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{S}_1=(1999+24)^{2022}-(1999)^{2022} \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{C}_1(1999)^{2021}(24)+{ }^{2022} \mathrm{C}_2(1999)^{2020}(24)^2+\ldots . s o \text { on }
\end{aligned}
$$
$\mathrm{S}_1$ is divisible by 8
$$
\begin{aligned}
& S_{2 n}: 13\left(13^n\right)-11 n-13 \\
& 13^n=(1+12)^n=1+12 n+{ }^n C_2 12^2+{ }^n C_3 12 \ldots \ldots \\
& 13\left(13^n\right)-11 n-13=145 n+{ }^n C_2 12+{ }^n C_3 12^3 \ldots \ldots
\end{aligned}
$$
If ( $n=144 m, m \in N$ ), then it is divisible by 144
For infinite value of $n$.
