Assuming x and y are two odd numbers and x/y is an integer. Which of the following statements are true?
1: x + y is odd.
2: xy is odd.
3: x/y is odd.
4: x-y is odd.

A: 1 and 2 only.
B: 1 and 3 only.
C: 2 and 3 only.
D: 2, 3, and 4 only.
E: 2 and 4 only.​

C

Step-by-step explanation:

1: x + y is even. Try it. 3 + 5 = 8. 2x + 1 + 2y + 1 = 2x +2x + 2. That's even no matter what 2 odd numbers you use.

2: xy is again try it 3 * 5 = 15 which is odd. (2x + 1)(2y + 1) = 4xy + 2x + 2y + 1. The first 3 terms are even. The last one is odd. So xy is odd.

3. 9/3 = 3. Three should be true. The numerator is greater than the denominator. And x/y is given as an integer. So the statement should be true.

4. x - y is This can't be right. 2x + 1 - 2y - 1 = 2x + 2y. The result is even.

2 and 3 only
