D. \(m-v-1\)
E. \(m-v\) Let m = 4 and v = 3 Always remember to check all the values, if in some case you find 2 options satisfying the values take another value and we should be good. 4>3>0, here the number of even integers less than m and greater than v = 0 Put back the values in the answer options We can get a zero from B and D, Now we will to test for some other value for m and v m = 8 v = 1 8>1>0, number of even integers less than m and greater than v = 3 (8-1-1)/2 = 3 D says there are 6 such values So B wins.

Your reasoning is really solid —including the part in which you tell us, correctly, that we should check each option. No matter. Mistakes are how we learn.

C. \(\frac{m-v}{2}\)
D. \(m-v-1\)
E. \(m-v\) simply plugin m=6 and v= 3 4 ie. 1 digit even possible >3 <6 so IMO B
