b be 2.
Then ; 2 , 2 both are positive integers.......( given )
According to the given condition ;
Hence , 1 + 3 = 4 , which is an even number.
Also , 3 is only left alone, which is an odd number.
HOPE IT HELPS YOU.............!!!
if both a and b are odd, they can be represented as,
a=2m+1
b=2n+1
so,
(a+b)/2=(2m +1+2n+1)/2=m+n+1
(a-b)/2=(2m+1-2n-1)/2=m-n
case 1
if m and n are odd integers,
m+n+1 is surely odd
m-n is surely even
case 2
if any one of m and n is odd and other is even,
m+n+1 is even
m-n is odd
case 3
if both m and n are even integers,
m+n+1 is odd
m-n is even
hope this helps
