14. Let the monthly rent of the house be ` x and the mess expenditure per head per month be ` y.
According to the given condition,
x + 2y = 3900

...(i)

x + 5y = 7500

...(ii) 1

Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i), we get

3y = 3600

y =

= product of three consecutive positive integers.

Now, we have to show that the product of three consecutive positive integers is divisible by 6.
We know that any positive integer a is of the form 3q, 3q + 1 or 3q + 2 for some positive integer q.
Let a, a + 1, a + 2 be any three consecutive integers.

Case I. If
a = 3q.
a(a + 1) (a + 2) = 3q(3q + 1) (3q + 2)
= 3q (even number, say 2r) = 6qr,
(Q Product of two consecutive integers (3q + 1) and (3q + 2) is an even integer)
which is divisible by 6.
1
Case II. If

a = 3q + 1.

a(a + 1) (a + 2) = (3q + 1) (3q + 2) (3q + 3)

= (even number say 2r) (3) (q + 1)
= 6r (q + 1),

which is divisible by 6.
Case III. If

a = 3q + 2.

a(a + 1) (a + 2) = (3q + 2) (3q + 3) (3q + 4)

= multiple of 6 for every q
= 6r (say),

which is divisible by 6.
Hence, the product of three consecutive integers is divisible by 6.
