Answer 2

Let the four consecutive

odd numbers be

x , x+2 , x+4 , x+6.

Now it is given in the question that

Their sum is 456 .

So,

$x + x+2 + x+4 + x+6. = 456 \\ \\ 4x + 12 = 456 \\ \\ 4x = 456 - 12 \\ \\ 4x = 444 \\ \\ \large x = \frac{ \cancel{444}}{ \cancel{4}} \\ \\ \boxed{ \boxed{x = 111}}$

So

1st number = 111

2nd number = 113

3rd number = 115

4th number = 117

$\red{So \: second \: smallest \: number \: will \: be \: 113 .}$
