23. Find all pairs of consecutive odd positive integers both of which are smaller than 10 such that their sum is more than 11.

Ans. Let and be two consecutive odd positive integers.

and

and

and

and 7

Therefore, the required pairs of odd positive integers are (5, 7) and (7, 9).

---

24. Find all pairs of consecutive even positive integers, both of which are larger than 5 such that their sum is less than 23.

Ans. Let and be two consecutive even positive integers.

and

and

and

and 10

Therefore, the required pairs of even positive integers are (6,8), (8 10) and (10, 12).

25. The longest side of a triangle s 3 times the shortest side and the third side is 2 cm shorter than the longest side. If the perimeter of the triangle is at least 61 cm. Find the minimum length of the shortest side.

Ans. Let the length of the shortest side be cm.

Length of longest side = cm and length of third side = cm

Perimeter of triangle = = cm

Now,

Therefore, the minimum length of shortest side is 9 cm.

26. A man wants to cut three lengths from a single piece of board of length 91 cm. The second length is to be 3 cm longer than the shortest and the third length is to be twice as long as the shortest. What are the possible lengths of the shortest board if the third piece is to be at least 5 cm longer than the second?

Ans. Let the length of the shortest side be cm.

Length of the second board = cm and length of third side = cm

Now, and

and

and

and

Therefore, minimum length of shortest board is 8 cm and maximum length is 22 cm.
