pick numbers...since k^2 - t^2 is odd, k must be odd and t even...
thus, for k choose 3 and t choose 2... plug in and u'll see that it's A

for k^2 - t^2 to be odd: one of them needs to be odd and one of them needs to be even.

O^2 - E^2 = O

it works the same way when you add: E + O = O, with or without squaring the numbers.

I) O + E = O

II) O + E + E = O

III) O^2 + E^2 = O

therefore all three of them are odd. so it is (A)

Hey Ssmiles, I think you meant O + E + E = O in example II. :D

Thank you Ssmiles & shibal, I see the approach now!

Thanks 2HB for the help.

Plug in consecutive numbers for 'k' and 't' - will help work the question out faster.
For eg: k=6 , t= 5 ; k=7 , t=8
