HELP!

This pattern follows the rule add 24. What other features do you observe?

12, 36, 60, 84

A. All terms are even because even + even = even.
B. All terms are even because odd + odd = even.
C. All terms are odd because odd + even = odd.
D. All terms are even because when you add two numbers together, the sums are always even.

Answer 1

A.

any number even + even = even

10 + 14 = 24 and 24 is even

12+24=36 which is even

Odd + odd does = even but it doesn't represent the situation so it is wrong.

Answer 2

A.

Explanation:

All terms are even. This means it either has to be A. or B. Since 24 is an even number, two even numbers are always added together. So A. is the correct answer.
