Question

If \( q \) is a positive integer, which of the following is an even positive integer?

• A. \( 2q + 1 \)
• B. \( 2q \)
• C. \( 2q + 3 \)
• D. \( 2q + 5 \)

Hint:

The expression \( 2q \) always results in an even number if \( q \) is an integer.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

If \( q \) is a positive integer, then \( 2q \) will always be an even positive integer. - Option (A), \( 2q + 1 \), is odd. - Option (B), \( 2q \), is even. - Option (C), \( 2q + 3 \), is odd. - Option (D), \( 2q + 5 \), is odd. Thus, the correct answer is \( \boxed{2q} \).
