Question

State true or false.

The sum of three odd numbers is even.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Explanation for the statement:

We know that, the sum of two odd numbers is even and the sum of even numbers and an odd number is odd.

Therefore, the sum of three odd numbers is odd.

Take any three odd numbers. such as $3,7,11.$

Find their sum:

$\begin{array}{l}=3+7+11\\ =21\end{array}$

Thus the sum of $3,7,11$ is $21$ which is an odd number.

Hence, the statement is false.
