If x is an integer, then x(x - 1)(x - v) must be evenly divisible by three when v is any of the following values EXCEPT
Select:
A) -4
B) -2
C) -1
D) 2
E) 5
here's another approach   x(x - 1)(x - v)   all three are consecutive, so the product MUST be a multiple of 3   we don't know the value of v just yet ... so let's extend the series ... the extension itself reveals the answers   ..(x-5)..(x-2)(x-1)x(x+1)..(x+4)..   we can see the possible values of v too from the series   v = 2 OR 2+3n [25]   v = -1 OR -1+3n [-1-4]   B i.e. -2 does not fit in any value of v   so -2 it is
