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