Consider the following solution that proves that the sum of two odd integers is not odd.Assume there exist two odd integers a and b such that a+b is odd.Let a an odd number and therefore can be written as: a = 2k + 1 (for some k integer)Let b an odd number and therefore can be written as: b = 2m+1 (for some m integer)Now consider the sum a+b: a + b = 2k+1 + 2m+1 = 2(k+m+1) which is the definition of an even integer which contradicts the assumption that a+b is odd.Which of the following proof strategies was followed above?
