The above statement is not true in all the conditions. For example, if we take the value of q as – 1. Then 4q + 2 = – 4 + 2 = – 2 which is not a positive integer.
And moreover, if q is positive then 4q + 2 will be always even. Therefore, we can never write an odd positive number in this form. Hence given statement is false
