Let us say two odd numbers are p and q. And we know that sum of two odd numbers is always even. But the average of two odd numbers is not always even.

Average of p and q = (p+q)/2 = even number/2 = odd or even.

Two examples will make it clear.

e.g. Average of 5 and 1 = (5+1)/2 = 6/2 = 3(odd number)

Average of 3 and 5 = (3+5)/2 = 8/2 = 4(even number)

So, average of two odd numbers can be even or odd.

Remember ODD +/- ODD = EVEN Odd +/- EVEN = Odd Even +/- Odd = odd Even +/- Even = Even. Similarly. Multiplication and division. Odd X Odd = Odd ( e.g. 3 x 5 = 15) Odd X Even = Even ( e.g. 3 x 4 = 12) Even X Odd = Even ( e.g. 6 x 5 = 30) Even X even = Even ( e.g. 6 x 8 = 48). Note the subtle differences between addition and Multiplication.
