Answer 1

Which of the following conjectures is false?

Solution: The false conjecture is:

J. The sum of two odd numbers is odd

Explanation:

F. The product of two even numbers is even.

For example: Let us take two even numbers 4 and 6.

The product of two even numbers is:

$4 \times 6 = 24$

Therefore, the product is also even number. Hence the conjecture is true.

G. The sum of two even numbers is even.

For example: Let us take two even numbers 4 and 6.

The sum of two even numbers is:

$4+6 = 10$

Therefore, the sum is also even number. Hence the conjecture is true.

H. The product of two odd numbers is odd.

For example: Let us take two odd numbers 3 and 5.

The product of two odd numbers is:

$3\times5 = 15$

Therefore, the product is also odd number. Hence the conjecture is true.

J. The sum of two odd numbers is odd.

For example: Let us take two odd numbers 3 and 5.

The sum of two odd numbers is:

$3+5= 8$

Therefore, the sum is not an odd number. Hence the conjecture is false.
