What is the sum of any two (a) odd numbers? (b) even numbers? TIPS We know that a number is called an even number, if it is completely divided by 2 (i.e. remainder = 0). Otherwise, it is an odd number.  

Answer:

(a) Let the two odd numbers be 5 and 7. Sum = 5 + 7 = 12                (even number) Taking one more example, Let the two odd numbers be 3 and 7. Sum = 3 + 7 = 10                (even number) Hence, we can say, sum of any two odd numbers is an even number. (b) Let the two even numbers be 4 and 8. Sum = 4 + 8 = 12                (even number) Taking one more example, Let the two even numbers be 6 and 20. Sum = 6 + 20 = 26             (even number) Hence, we can say, sum of any two even numbers is an even number.
