Answer:

Answer Below ↓

Explanation:

Assume n is a odd number then n-1 will be even and if odd number multiply with even it will be even. So that's for n(n-1) is a even number. If you assume n is an even number then (n-1) will be odd number..Then multiplication of odd and even number will be also even number.. So n(n-1) is always even .
