Here,
Assume,
First consecutive odd numbers = p
Second number be (p + 2)
Now,
Situation,
p² + (p + 2)² = 394
2p² + 4p - 390 = 0
p² + 2p - 195 = 0
p² + 15p - 13p - 195 = 0
p(p + 15) - 13(p + 15) = 0
(p + 15) (p - 13) = 0
p + 15 = 0 or p - 13 = 0
p = -15, 13 (Negative value is not acceptable)
p = 13
First Number = p = 13
Second number
= p + 2
= 13 + 2
= 15
