Question 1

Which of these is an odd number? 84, 42, 50, 97

A 84

B 97

C 42

D 50

Worked answer

Correct answer: B — 97

  • Look only at the last digit.
  • Odd numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9.
  • 97 ends in 7, so it is odd.
  • Why the other options are wrong:
  • A (84): Look at the last digit: odd numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9.
  • C (42): Look at the last digit: odd numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9.
  • D (50): Look at the last digit: odd numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9.

Only the last digit decides odd or even: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 are even; 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 are odd.
