@pido- i couldn't get ur line "in RHS all the terms are odd and summed even times"... What does that mean?
clear it please..!!
On the contrary assume none of them are even.
The given equality can be written as
a_2\cdot a_3 \cdots a_{2000} + a_1 \cdot a_3 \cdots a_{2000}+ \cdots + a_1\cdot a_2 \cdot a_{1999} = a_1 \cdot a_2 \cdot a_3 \cdots a_{2000}
In the RHS all the terms are odd, and are summed even i.e 2000 times. Hence RHS is even. But L.H.S is odd. Conclusion follows.
