If m is an odd integer and n an even integer, which of the following is definitely odd? a..(2m+n)(m-n) b.. (m+n^2)+(m-n^2) c..m^2+mn+n^2 d... m+n
is your second sentence correct sauracshakya?
U know odd number + odd number is even number odd number + even number is odd number odd number times odd number is odd number odd number times even number is even number
i knew it ....but as you wrote odd +even=even is not correct its odd
correct now
Thanx @cwrw238
yw
wt do u think wts the answer
m=3,n=2 we can substitute to see the answer
What about d
there is conflict in between c and d
Nope a and d
c is even
no a is not odd :- even times odd = even
Yes not a
yea d is definitley odd
yes a is not odd definately it is even
im confused about c is it even or odd ...accc to me it is odd
reply gys
m^2 is odd nm is odd and n^2 is even odd + odd + even = even
nm can not be odd ...take an example 2*3=6 and it is even
so in this ...c and d both are odd ...,,so its finally done
lets look at it again to make sure - i don't trust myself today
m^2 is odd mn is even even + odd = odd n^2 is even odd + even = odd yes c is odd
i was sure about it but in tcs site they did'nt give another option if both answere are correct ...but now i think that there was some mistake
yes - thats part of problem you automatically think theres only one solution as u say there could have been mistake in the question.
