Step-by-step is appreciated. 

Thanks

Consider the statement that 3n – 2 is an odd number for all n = 1,2, 3, ....
Which of the following statements is necessary to prove the statement via
mathematical induction?
I) Assume 3k - 2 is an odd number, then 3(k+1)– 2 is also an odd number.
II) Let n be arbitrary. Show that 3 * n – 2 is an odd number.
III) Show that 3.1- 2 is an odd number.
IV) Pick two values of n at random and show that the statement is true for
these chosen n values.
Multiple choice:
a) "I only"
b) “II only"
c) "III only"
d) “IV only"
e) "I and II only"
f) "I and III only"
g) "I and IV only"
h) “II and III only"
i) "II and IV only"
k) "III and IV only"
