Give a convincing argument that the statement is true, OR show that the statement is false by providing a counterexample.

Answer 1

Answer:

False statement

Step-by-step explanation:

consider a as odd & b as even because consecutive numbers come in this manner orvice versa.

then odd + even = odd

So odd numbers aren't divisible by 2
