Set S consists of 20 different positive integers. How many of the intergers in S are odd?
(1) 10 of the integers in S are even
(2) 10 of the integers in S are multiples of 4
The answer is A but it seems like you have to assume all integers of S aren't even. No other constraints are given to justify this assumption in my opinion. If the set isn't consecutive, then you could easily have 20 even integers in the set. Where is the contraint that they all don't have to be odd? Couldn't they all be even?
