Suppose P, Q, R, and S are integers. If P is even and (P*Q + R*S) is an odd integer, then which of the following must be true?

i. Q is odd
ii. R is odd
iii. S is odd

A. I only
B. I and II only
C. I and III only
D. II and III only
E. I, II, and III only
This question takes less than 30 seconds because of the answer choices.

1. The sum of two numbers (PQ) and (RS) will be odd when one number is odd and the other is even.
O + E = O, or E + O = O

2. P is even. Only odd times odd = odd. P times odd or even will be even.

(That means (RS) is odd, which turns out not to matter because of answer choices.)

3. Assessing I, must Q be odd? From #2: No. P (even) times even or odd will be even.

Answers A, B, C, and E all include I as a "must." It isn't.

4. Only answer D does not include that incorrect answer. Reject the other four.

Answer D.
