MCQ
Every positive even integer is of the form $........$ for some integer $'q\ '$.
  • A
    $2q + 1$
  • $2q$
  • C
    $2q - 1$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
$2q$
Let a be any positive integer and $b = 2$
Then by applying Euclid’s Division Lemma, we have,
$a = 2q + r$ where $0\leq\text{r}<2\text{ r}=0\text{ r}1$
Therefore, $a = 2q$ or $2q + 1$
Thus, it is clear that $a = 2q$
i.e. $a$ is an even integer in the form of $2q$
