Question

State whether the following statement is True or False

Sum of two odd numbers is odd.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Odd Number: A number that is not divisible by 2 and leaves 1 as the remainder is called an odd number.

Lets take any two odd numbers, and add them

$$\begin{gathered} \text{3 + 5 = 8 (even)} \\ \text{7 + 21 = 28(even)} \\ \text{25 + 31 = 56(even)} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, sum of two odd numbers is always even.

Hence, the given statement is False.
