Its an humble request.
In the above Q: when n is a natural no. only then it is always exactly divisible by 40.

Otherwise, say, put n=3/2, it will not be divisible by 40. then the greatest no. which divides the above expression would be 4.

Pls check and rectify.

Thanx.

Question:

Find the greatest number by which the expression 72n - 32n is always exactly divisible , n is natural number

Options:
A) 4
B) 10
C) 20
D) 40
Solution:
Ans:(d) If n=1  then 72 - 3 =40, so the value of given expression will always be a multiple of 40.i.e. the number is always divisible by 40.

72n - 32n  is always divisible by 49 - 9 = 40
