Correct option is (D) Odd number
Sum of three odd numbers is odd.
Sum of an odd number and an even number is odd.
\(\therefore\) Sum of three odd numbers and one even number is odd.
Correct option is (C) x + y = 24
Let both numbers are x and y.
\(\therefore\) Their sum = x+y
\(\therefore\) x + y = 24 \((\because\) Given that sum of both numbers is 24)
Correct option is (D) 35/38
Let the second number be x.
\(\therefore\) x + \((\frac{-8}{19})\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow\) x = \(\frac{1}{2}\) - \((\frac{-8}{19})\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) + \(\frac{8}{19}\) \(=\frac{19+8\times2}{38}\) \(=\frac{19+16}{38}\) \(=\frac{35}{38}.\)
