I. Product of two distinct primes.
The product of 2 and 5 can be divisible by 10. OUT.
II. An integer less than 10.
0 is divisible by 10. OUT
III. Sum of three consecutive integers.
9+10+11 is divisible by 10. OUT
IV. An odd integer.
An odd integer is never divisible by 10. IN
Choose E. Am I right?

Nowhere it says that the integers are +ve only.krisraam wrote:between B and E.
Thanks

So B is out. Only E.
-10 is less than 10. -10/10 = -1 an integer.
Remember !!!!!
Integer = +ve and -ve integers and 0.
