ERROR in MGMAT Number Properties?

[shoumik]

Hey guys,

I think there is a mistake in the solution part of Chapter 11 (Page 155) of the Number Properties 4th edition of MGMAT?

Question #1, table 1, if we pay attention to Scenario 3 it states p = even, q = odd, r = even...pq+r = E x O + O = O.

In fact, pq + r should be E x O + E = E. I think there is a mistake. Could someone verify?

Thanks.
