Solution

The correct option is B False

Even number : Numbers which are exactly divisible by 2 are known as even numbers. Ex- 2,4,6,8....

Odd number : Numbers which are not exactly divisible by 2 are known as odd numbers. Ex- 3,5,7,9....

Now, sum of odd and an even number

5+6=11

7+8=15

With the help of this example, we can conclude that the sum of an odd number and an even number is not always even.

Hence, the given statement is false.
