EXAMPLE:
Lets take 3 and 5 be these two no.s
So, 3+5=8 (4×2=8)
If taken 5,7
So, 5+7=12 (4×3=12)
If take 111 & 113,
So, 111+113=224 (4×56=224)
EXPLAINATION
Consectuive odd numbers...let one be x , other will be x+2
So, by given ,x+x+2=2(x+1)Now see, Why it is divisible ...
Above it is proven that sum of any odd numbers will be of form 2(x+1) ...So , First , when it is divided by 4 ,
They 4 cuts 2 with 2 , to get-
(x+1)/2 .
Now , x is odd , if it is 1,3,5 etc...
See... (1+1)/2=2/2 (divisible)
If 3, (3+1)/2=4/2=2 ( divisible)
I AM SURE U UNDWRSTOOD IT COMPLETELY .
