can u give me an example?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use elimination here. The first statement is false because 2 + 3 = 5. Here, one number is even. Second one is true. 5 + 7 = 12. Third one is false. 3 + 7 = 10. Fourth one is also false. 3 + 4 = 7.

So answer is the second one as @JohnHanShanghai has mentioned.

3 is odd 5 is odd 8 is even
