Q) A positive integer is of the form `3q + 1`, `q` being a natural number. Can you write its square in any form other than `3m + 1`, i.e., `3m` or `3m + 2` for some integer `m`? Justify your answer.

Q) Show that the square of an odd positive integer is of the form `8m + 1`, for some whole number `m.`

Q) Prove that if `x` and `y` are both odd positive integers, then `x^2 + y^2` is even but not divisible by 4.

Q) Use Euclid’s division lemma to show that the cube of any positive integer is of the form `9m, 9m + 1 or 9m + 8.`
