Question 44

If u, v, w and m are natural numbers such that $$u^m + v^m = w^m$$, then which one of the following is true?

Solution

Substitute value of u = v = 2, w = 4 and m = 1. Here the condition holds and options A and B are false. Hence, we can eliminate options A and B.

Substitute u = v = 1, w=2 and m= 1. Here m=min(u, v, w). Hence, option C also does not hold. Hence, we can eliminate option C.

Option d) is the correct answer.
