If n is the sum of two consecutive odd integers and less than 100, what is the greatest possibility of n?
a)98
b)94
c)96
d)99

• c) 96
  For the sum to be less than 100,two consecutive odd integers are 47 & 49,
  so the sum=96

• Taking greatest possibility
  we take 51 + 49 but 51 + 49 = 100, we need x + y < 100
  so we take 47 + 49 = 96 (ANS)

• Taking greatest possibility
  we take 51 + 49 but 51 + 49 = 100, we need x + y < 100
  so we take 47 + 49 = 96 (ANS)

• OPTION C)CONSECUTIVE ODD INTEGERS.. HENCE IT IS 47+49=96

• 96..two nos. are 47 and 49

• i think it can be solved like below
  2n+1 + 2n-1 < 100
  4n < 100
  n shold be a divisible of 4
  from options i thnk we can chek

• Answer is option C i.e. 96
  let 2 consecutive odd integers be (2*k+1) and (2*k+3), then
  (2*k+1)+(2*k+3) < 100 {since sum = n and n < 100}
  4*k+4 < 100
  k+1 < 25
  k < 24
  max value of k less than 24 = 23
  putting k = 23
  two numbers are 47 and 49
  hence answer is 96.

• We take two odd numbers as (2n + 1) and (2n - 1).
  Their sum should be less than 100. So (2n + 1) + (2n - 1) < 100 ⇒ 4n < 100.
  The largest 4 multiple which is less than 100 is 96

• let the two odd nos be 2x+1 and 2x+3
  n=(2x+1)+(2x+3);
  n

  Their sum should be less than 100. So (2n + 1) + (2n - 1) < 100
  ⇒
  4n < 100.

• Let the two consecutive odd integers be n,n+2
  therefore its given,
  n+n+2

• 96 is right answer

• let x be an odd integer,consecutive odd integer for x is x+2 or x-2
  according to condition, x+x+2

• the answer is 96
  because it is mentioned consecutive odd integers and should me less than 100
  so if it is 47+49=96
