    • Even

    • Odd

    Correct Answer
    A. Even
    Explanation
    When we multiply two even numbers, the result is always an even number. Therefore, the product of (Even)(Even) will also be an even number.

    Rate this question:

  • 42. 

    Even + Odd = ?

    • Even

    • Odd

    Correct Answer
    A. Odd
    Explanation
    When an even number is added to an odd number, the result is always an odd number. This is because even numbers can be represented as 2n (where n is an integer), and odd numbers can be represented as 2n+1. When we add an even number (2n) to an odd number (2n+1), we get (2n + 2n + 1) which simplifies to 4n + 1, which is an odd number. Therefore, the answer to the given equation "Even + Odd" is always an odd number.

    Rate this question:

  • 43. 

    Odd + Odd = ?

    • Even

    • Odd

    Correct Answer
    A. Even
    Explanation
    When two odd numbers are added together, the sum will always be an even number. This is because odd numbers can be represented as 2n+1, where n is an integer. Adding two odd numbers together would result in (2n+1) + (2m+1), which simplifies to 2(n+m+1). Since n, m, and 1 are all integers, the sum is always divisible by 2, making it an even number. Therefore, the correct answer is Even.
