Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: P + Q + R = 16
Concept: Number Property Evaluation.

Formula: \(P = 2, Q = 9, R = 5\)

Solution:

  • Smallest positive single-digit even number \(P = 2\).


  • Largest single-digit odd number \(Q = 9\).


  • \(P + Q + R = 2 + 9 + 5 = 16\).


Why other options are incorrect:

• Option C: Calculates \((9 + 5) \times 2 = 28\) (not 30).
