If $$n = 1,$$ then $$\frac{{\left( {n + 2} \right)!}}{{6\left( {n - 1} \right)!}} = \frac{{3!}}{{6 \times 0!}} = \frac{6}{6} = 1,$$ divisible by 1.

If \[A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}

1&1
\end{array}} \right]{\rm{and }}\,\,I = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
1&0\\
0&1
\end{array}} \right],\] then which one of the following holds for all $$n \geqslant 1,$$ by the principle of mathematical induction
A.
$${A^n} = nA - \left( {n - 1} \right)I$$
B.
$${A^n} = {2^{n - 1}}A - \left( {n - 1} \right)I$$
C.
$${A^n} = nA + \left( {n - 1} \right)I$$
D.
$${A^n} = {2^{n - 1}}A + \left( {n - 1} \right)I$$
Answer :
$${A^n} = nA - \left( {n - 1} \right)I$$

We observe that
\[{A^2} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
1&0\\
2&1
\end{array}} \right],{A^3} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
1&0\\
3&1
\end{array}} \right]\] and we can prove by
induction that \[{A^n} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
1&0\\
n&1
\end{array}} \right]\]
Now \[nA - \left( {n - 1} \right)I = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
n&0\\
n&n
\end{array}} \right] - \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{n - 1}&0\\
0&{n - 1}
\end{array}} \right]\]
\[ = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
1&0\\
n&1
\end{array}} \right] = {A^n}\]
$$\therefore \,\,nA - \left( {n - 1} \right)I = {A^n}$$

A student was asked to prove a statement $$P\left( n \right)$$ by induction. He proved that $$P\left( {k + 1} \right)$$ is true whenever $$P\left( 5 \right)$$ is true for all $$k > 5 \in N$$ and also that $$P\left( 5 \right)$$ is true. On the basis of this he could conclude that $$P\left( n \right)$$ is true
A.
for all $$n \in N$$
B.
for all $$n > 5$$
C.
for all $$n \geqslant 5$$
D.
for all $$n < 5$$
