If X and Y are consecutive integers (Y>X), which of the following statements could be false?
1. The multiplication XY is an even number.
2. (Y/X) > 1.
3. (X + Y) is always an odd number.  Choices:
A) 1 only B) 2 only. C) 1 and 2 only. D) 1 and 3 only. E) 1, 2 and 3
Consecutive numbers means that one will be even and one will be odd.   1. The multiplication XY is an even number. Odd*even= even. True   2. (Y/X) &gt; 1.   If Y= 1 and X=0   Y/X= Undefined   Or if Y =-1 and X=-2   Y/X= 1/2 &lt;1   Could be False   3. (X + Y) is always an odd number.   Even+ Odd= Odd. True   2 only. is the answer
