Pg 653 - Q18

Try out each statement with 3, 2 and multiples of 3 and 2 (3:2 = 4:6 = 8:12).  If you add 3 + 2, you get 5 which is an odd integer.  If you add 4 + 6, you get 10 which is an even integer (A and B are both wrong).  3 * 2 = 6 which is divisible by 6 and is even (C and D are wrong).  The product of the 2 numbers can never be odd (E) because if the numbers have to be integers, then all numbers involved will always be even (because you are always multiplying by 2 to get the next ratio of numbers), and the product of 2 evens always is even.
