Which one of the following gives an odd integer?
(A) $6^{2}$
(B) $23-17$
(C) $9 \times 24$
(D) $96 \div 8$
(E) $9 \times 41$
Which one of the following gives an odd integer?
(A) $6^{2}$
(B) $23-17$
(C) $9 \times 24$
(D) $96 \div 8$
(E) $9 \times 41$

## Solution 1

$6^{2}=36,23-17=6,9 \times 24=216,96 \div 8=12,9 \times 41=369$

## Solution 2

If we think in terms of even and odd integers we have the following:

(A) $($ even $)($ even $)=$ even

(B) odd - odd $=$ even

(C) (odd)(even) $=$ even

(D) (even) $\div($ even $)=$ even or odd (It is necessary to evaluate)

(E) $($ odd $)($ odd $)=$ odd
