Problem

Let $S$ be the set of all numbers which are the sum of the squares of three consecutive integers. Then we can say that

$\text{(A) No member of S is divisible by } 2\quad\\ \text{(B) No member of S is divisible by } 3 \text{ but some member is divisible by } 11\quad\\ \text{(C) No member of S is divisible by } 3 \text{ or } 5\quad\\ \text{(D) No member of S is divisible by } 3 \text{ or } 7 \quad\\ \text{(E) None of these}$

Solution

$\fbox{B}$
