class 10 ncert Ch 1 ex 1.2 question 2 maths question is :- prove that the product of two consecutive integers is always even .
Answer :-
Let us assume that, the two consecutive integers are x and (x + 1) .
since, we know that,
- when we take any two consecutive integers one them must be an even number . Ex , (3,4) (5,6) (9,10) ,(16,17) etc .
so, we can conclude that,
- Either x = even
- or, (x + 1) = even .
we can write even numbers in form of 2n .
then,
→ x * (x + 1) will be,
- 2n * (x + 1)
- x * 2n where 2n = x + 1
therefore,
→ 2n * (x + 1) ÷ 2 = Remainder 0
→ x * 2n ÷ 2 = Remainder 0 .
hence, we can conclude that, the product of two consecutive integers is always even .
