B. 2b
C. (a+b)/2
D. (a+2)/2
E. (b+2)/2
One thing is quite lucid that both a and b are even positive integers, because a - b is even when either both a and b are even or both are odd positive integers. But the product of two odd positive integers cannot be even, hence, both a and b are even positive integers.mgmt_gmat wrote:If a and b are positive integers such that a - b and ba are both even integers, which of the following must be an odd integer?
