Hans Raj 8 years, 6 months ago

let the numbers be x  and x+2

x2 + (x+2)2 = 394

x2+x2+4+4x=394

2x2+4x+4=394

x2+2x+2=197

x2+2x-195=0

x2+15x-13x-195=0

x(x+15) - 13(x+15)=0

(x+15)(x-13)=0

x+15=0  or  x-13=0

x= -15  or  x=13

but x= -15 is not possible as it is - ve number

therefore one odd number is x = 13

next consrcutive odd number is  x+2 = 13+2=15

13 and 15 are two consecutive positive odd numbers

check your answer 13+ 15= 13x13 + 15x15 = 169+225=394
