OA is B,
But why i and j cannot equal to zero. because it is not mentioned that i and j are different integers .
therefore, i = j = 0,
then, B is also insufficient,
ans : e
please reply

If j = 0 and i = 0 and i + j = 0 then then B would still be the correct answer because 0 is an even integer. Does that make sense?

To confirm "zero is neither positive nor negative integer" kindly check OG 11th Edition, page no.108 , last paragraph: properties of integers.

You are 100% correct - however, that has nothing to do with this question!anksbhandari wrote:But dear, zero is neither positive nor negative integer.
0 is an even "uncharged" integer.
