Answer 2

Here is the answer

Let the 5 consecutive odd numbers be
x , x+2 , x+4 , x+6 , x+8

Now,
According to the given condition,

$\tt{(x) + (x + 2) + (x + 4)} + \\ \tt{( x + 6) +( x + 8) = 135}$
$\tt{5x + 20 = 135}$

$\tt{5x = 135 - 20} \\ \tt{ 5x = 115}$
$\tt{x = \frac{115}{5} = 23}$

Now,
Put the values of x in all numbers

x = 23
x + 2 = 23 + 2 = 25
x + 4 = 23 + 4=27
x+ 6 = 23 + 6 = 29
x + 8 = 23 + 8 = 31

Thus ,
Second number is 24.
