Question

Is the number of cherries in the given image odd or even?

• A. Odd
• B. Even

Answer 1

The correct option is A Odd

Total number of cherries = 15
To check whether a number of objects is even or odd, we split the number of objects into groups of two equal addends or in pairs of 2.
If all the objects are grouped in pairs or ingroups of equal addends, the number is even. Making pairs of two with 15 cherries leaves one cherry ungrouped.
If 1 object is left ungrouped, the number is odd.
7 + 7 + 1 = 15
Here after grouping the total objects into equal addends, 1 object is left ungrouped.


Hence, the number of cherries in the given image is odd.
