Question 8 • MASTER COURSE Geometry

Which conjunction about whole numbers is true?

Answer
A
The difference of two non-zero even numbers is odd and greater than the larger number.
B
The sum of two non-zero even numbers is even and greater than the addends.
C
The difference of two non-zero even numbers is odd and less than the larger number.
D
The sum of two non-zero even numbers is even and less than the addends.

Explanation

The sum of two even numbers is always even. Since both numbers are non-zero whole numbers, each is positive, so adding one to the other makes the sum greater than either addend. Therefore, the true conjunction is “the sum of two non-zero even numbers is even and greater than the addends.”
