The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem where \( n \) is odd, \( p \) is even, and \( q \) is odd, we need to determine the value of \( n + p + q \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the types of numbers:** - \( n \) is an odd number. - \( p \) is an even number. - \( q \) is an odd number. 2. **Add \( n \) (odd) and \( p \) (even):** - When you add an odd number and an even number, the result is always odd. - Therefore, \( n + p \) is odd. 3. **Add the result from step 2 to \( q \) (odd):** - Now we have \( (n + p) + q \). - Since \( n + p \) is odd and \( q \) is also odd, when you add two odd numbers, the result is always even. - Therefore, \( (n + p) + q \) is even. 4. **Conclusion:** - Thus, \( n + p + q \) is even. ### Final Answer: The result of \( n + p + q \) is **even**.
