The counter example is 1 + 27

Step-by-step explanation

The sum of two different odd numbers is divisble by 4.

The above statement is not always true. The counterexample that will disprove this statement is:

Two odd numbers such as ;

1 is an odd number and 27 is an odd number

1 + 27 = 28

28 is not divisible by 4.

Hence, the counter example is 1 + 27
