Question
"The product of two consecutive positive integers is divisible by 2". Is this statement true or false? Give reasons.
✓
Answer
Yes, from any two consecutive numbers one will be even and other will be odd i.e. n, (n + 1). So, their product will be even which will be divisible by 2.
Hence, the product of two consecutive positive integers is divisible by 2.
Hence, the product of two consecutive positive integers is divisible by 2.
