values.

312​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

So, a and b are consecutive, assuming a comes first then b can be written as a+1

So,

a+b = a+(a+1) = 2a+1 = 252

a = 251/2 ?????? It's not a natural number,

I think you have made a mistake while typing the question,

Since, sum of any consecutive natural numbers is always odd

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let's take (b) as a+1

a+b

a+(a+1)

2a+1 = 252

a=251/2?? it's not natural number
