The sum of two consecutive odd numbers is 24. What is the larger number? ​​

Given:

The sum of two consecutive odd numbers is 24.

Solution:

The two consecutive odd numbers are x and x+2.

Their sum = 24.
x + (x + 2) = 24

2x + 2 = 24

2x = 24 - 2

2x = 22

x = 11

The two numbers are 11 and 13.

So, 13 is the larger number.

Thus, correct option is (d).
