Hye mate..
========

Let the two consecutive odd numbers be x And x + 2

Given,

The sum of two odd consecutive number is 28

So,

=> x + ( x + 2 ) = 28

=> x + x + 2 = 28

=> 2x + 2 = 28

=> 2x = 26

=> x = 13

So,

The required two odd consecutive number is 13 and ( 13 + 2 ) = 15

Hope it helps !!
