What is the formula for the sum of n even numbers?
- N+n
- N+2
- N(n+1)
- N+1
Correct Answer

A. N(n+1)

Explanation

The formula for the sum of n even numbers is n(n+1). This can be derived by considering that the sum of the first n even numbers is equal to the sum of the first n natural numbers multiplied by 2. The sum of the first n natural numbers is given by the formula n(n+1)/2, and when multiplied by 2, it becomes n(n+1).

Which of these is not among the even numbers?
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 6
Correct Answer

A. 3

Which of these numbers is not divisible by 2?
- 2
- 8
- 4
- 5
Correct Answer

A. 5

Explanation

All the numbers given in the list are divisible by 2 except for the number 5. This is because a number is divisible by 2 if it can be divided evenly by 2 without leaving a remainder. In the case of 5, it cannot be divided evenly by 2 as 5 divided by 2 equals 2 with a remainder of 1. Therefore, 5 is not divisible by 2.

Which of these numbers is divisible by only 2 and 7?
- 21
- 12
- 14
- 16
Correct Answer

A. 14

Explanation

The number 14 is divisible by only 2 and 7. It is divisible by 2 because it is an even number, and it is divisible by 7 because there is no remainder when 14 is divided by 7. Therefore, 14 is the only number in the given options that satisfies the condition of being divisible by only 2 and 7.
