For $n \in N$, the largest positive integer that divides $81 n+20 n-1$ is $k$. If $S$ is the sum of all positive divisors of $k$ then $S-k=$

  • Correct answer
    A
    117
  • B
    130
  • C
    115
  • D
    127

Solution

$81^n+20 n-1 \Rightarrow(1+80)^n+20 n-1$ $\begin{aligned} & =1+80 n+{ }^n C_2 \times 80^2 \times 1+\ldots .+20 n-1 \\ & =100 n+100 \times 8^2 \times{ }^n C_2+{ }^n C_3 80^3 \ldots \\ & =100\left(n+{ }^n C_2 \times 64 \ldots .\right) \\ & k=100=2^2 \times 5^2 \end{aligned}$
Sum of all divisors is $\begin{aligned} & \left(1+2+2^2\right) \times(1+5+25)=7 \times 31=217=S \\ & S-K=217-100=117 . \end{aligned}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
