1- Following statement is given to you
"If m and n are even integers, then mn is divisible by 4."
The student used following steps to prove the given statement.
If m and n are even integers then there exists integers a and b such that
m = 2a andn= 2b
Therefore mn can be written mn= (2a)(2b).
mn=4ab
Since ab is an integer, mn is 4 times an integer so it is divisible by 4.
What is the name of the proof method which is used in the solution?
a) O Contrapositive proof
b) O Direct Proof
c) O Mathematical Induction
d) O Proof by Contradiction
