Answer will be 2.

take a example take a whole number 1 and its successor is 2 , multiplication of 1 and 2 is divisible by 2,

same as take number 2 and its successor is 3 , multiplication of 2 and 3 is divisible by 2

there for final answer is 2

Answer 2

Answer:

option A- 2

Step-by-step explanation:

if you take any whole number which is even its successor will always be odd

and even multiplied by odd will always give you a even integer

likewise  

if you take any whole number which is odd its successor will always be even

and odd multiplied by even will always give you a even integer as well

in both the cases you will get the answer as even number and 2 can always divide any even number

therefore the answer is 2
