Pick 3 consecutive odd numbers:

3, 5, 7

Square the 2nd number: 5 ^ 2 = 25

Multiply the first and 3rd:

3 x 7 = 21

25-21 = 4

This is true.

Try another set of numbers:

9, 11, 13

11^2 = 121

9 x 13 = 117

121-117 = 4

Again it’s true.

Answer:

Let's choose the three odd consecutive numbers 1, 3, and 5.

3^2=9

1•5=5

9-5=4

Let's try the same thing, but with the numbers 101, 103, and 105.

103^2=10609

101•105=10605

10609-10605=4

So, yes, the square of the second number out of three consecutive odd numbers is four greater than the product of the first and the third numbers.
