The best way is to pick 36 for x^2 and try each of them
But also x^2=32k+4 or 4(8k+1)
X = 2* root of 8k+1
X/2 will leave us with root 8k+1, a possible integer. I.e where k is 1 the integer is 3
X/6 will leave us with root 8k+1 /3, a possible integer since it is odd.i.e when k is 1 X/6 is 1

X/4 will leave us with (root 8k+1)/2 it will always be a fraction

What if x=10. Here we will get (10)^2+3=103
103 divided by 32 also leaves a reminder 7.

However, 10/6 is not an integer.

So only Option A is correct, in my opinion.

Actually the answer is none of the above. It's not mentioned that x is an integer, so if say \(x=\sqrt{68}\), then none of the options give an integer. Not a good question.

TOPIC IS LOCKED.
