2 answers:
Answer: The correct option is
(B) n and n + 2.
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to select the correct pair of expressions that could represent consecutive odd numbers.
Let n and m be two consecutive odd numbers.
We know that
the difference between two consecutive odd numbers is 2.
So, we must have
Therefore, if n is one odd number, then the next odd number is (n + 2).
Thus, n and n + 2 represents the pair of consecutive odd numbers.
(B) is the correct option.

There are two Right angled triangles in the given figure, with two missing sides, let's name the other missing side be " y "
According to Pythagoras theorem,
note :
- p = perpendicular / opposite side
- b = base / adjacent side
- h = hypotenuse
let's solve for " y² " first ( square of other missing side )
now let's solve for " x " , by using pythagorous theorem
