Question

If x is the sum of two consecutive even integers and is less than 100, what is the greastest possibility of x ?

Answer 1

At first ,We will take two even numbers as (2x+1) and (2x-1) and it is given that their sum should be less than 100. So therefore it is( 2x+1 ) ( 2x -1)<100 so we get as - 4n <100. The largest number which is multiple by 4 and lesser than 100 is 96.... so 96 is the ans
