B Correct answer
Explanation

If we add two even numbers the answer is always even.

Let $2a$ and $2b$ be two even numbers as both are divisible by $2$
Sum $=2a+2b$
Sum $=2(a+b)$
which is also divisible by $2$ . So the sum is even.
So option $B$ is correct.

C Correct answer
Explanation

$ Given\quad that\quad m,n,o,p\quad and\quad q\quad are\quad integers.\ \therefore \quad (n+o)\quad is\quad an\quad integer\ \quad \quad (p-q)\quad is\quad an\quad integer\ \therefore \quad m(n+o)(p-q)\quad is\quad a\quad product\quad of\quad 3\quad integers.\ The\quad product\quad to\quad be\quad even\quad one\quad of\quad the\quad factors\quad to\quad be\quad even.\ either\quad m\quad be\quad even\longrightarrow option\quad C\ or\quad (n+o)\quad be\quad even\longrightarrow no\quad option\ or\quad (p-q)\quad be\quad even\longrightarrow no\quad option.\ \therefore \quad option\quad C\quad is\quad the\quad answer. $

C Correct answer
Explanation
An odd number is an integer which is not divisible by two. If it is divided by two, then the result is a fraction. The set of odd integers is $-5,-3,-1,1,3,5,7,.....$

Hence, the odd integers are $3,-3,5$, whereas $-4$ is not an odd integer because it is divisible by $2$.

B Correct answer
Explanation
An odd number is an integer which is not divisible by two. If it is divided by two, then the result is a fraction. The set of odd integers is $-5,-3,-1,1,3,5,7,.....$

The following set of integers is lesser than $1$:

$.....-5,-3,-1,1$

Hence, two of the odd integers lesser than $1$ are $-1,-3$.

If k is a positive integer, then $k(k+1)(k+3)$ is

  1. even only when k is even

  2. even only when k is odd

  3. Always odd

  4. Always even
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Suppose $k$ is even

Then $k(k+1)(k+3)$ is even as $k$ will be divisible by $2$
Now if $k$ is odd.
Then $(k+1)$ and $(k+3)$ are even
$\Rightarrow k(k+1)(k+3)$ is also even.
So $k(k+1)(k+3)$ is always even.
So option $D$ is correct.

Write $2$ even integers greater than  $-4$

  1. $-2,-6$
  2. $-6,-8$
  3. $6,8$
  4. $-3,2$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
An even number is an integer which is "evenly divisible" by two. This means that if the integer is divided by $2$, it yields no remainder. The set of even integers is $-6,-4,-2,2,4,6,8,.....$

The following set of integers is greater than $-4$:

$-2,2,4,6,8,.....$

Hence, two of the even integers greater than $-4$ are $6,8$.

The numbers which are not multiples of $2$ are called _______.

  1. even

  2. odd

  3. prime

  4. composite
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The numbers $1,3,5,7,9$ etc are called odd number which is not divisible by $2$ and any number which ends which these numbers are also called odd number. 

So, the numbers which are not multiples of $2$ are called odd.
Hence, the answer is odd.
