Question: 90
4. If g is an even integer, h is an odd integer, and j is the product of g and h, which of the following must be true?
- A. j is a fraction.
- B. j is an odd integer.
- C. j is divisible by 2.
- D. j is between g and h.
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
The correct answer is (C). Since integers can be both positive and negative, and the product of a positive and negative integer is always negative, choice (E) must be false. Looking further at the answers, notice that choices (B) and (C) are opposites of one another. Therefore, one of those must be true and the other false. Substitute two numbers for g and h and see which of the two is true. If g = -4 and h = 5, g × h = -4 × 5 = -20. Since -20 is even, choice (C) is correct.
