Let the two odd positive no. be x = 2k + 1 and y = 2p + 1
Hence, x2 + y2 = (2k + 1)2 +(2p + 1)2
= 4k2 + 4k + 1 + 4p2 + 4p + 1
= 4k2 + 4p2 + 4k + 4p + 2
= 4 (k2 + p2 + k + p) + 2
clearly, notice that the sum of square is even the no. is not divisible by 4
hence, if x and y are odd positive integer, then x2 + y2 is even but not divisible by four
