  • Question
  • The difference between the squares of two consecutive odd integers is always divisible by ?


  • Options
  • A. 8
  • B. 2
  • C. 6
  • D. 4

  • Correct Answer


  • Explanation

    Let the two consecutive odd integers be (2x + 1) and (2x + 3)

    Then,

    (2x + 3)2 - (2x + 1)2

    = (2x + 3 + 2x + 1) (2x + 3 - 2x - 1)

    = (4x + 4)(2)
    = 8 (x + 1), which is always divisible by 8
