Answer : 1. "29"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 29 Explanation: Let the five consecutive odd numbers be x-4, x-2, x, x+2, x+4 According to the question, Difference between square of the average of first two odd number and the of the average last two odd numbers is 396 i.e, x+3 and x-3 ⇒x + 32 - x - 32 = 396⇒ x2 + 9 + 6x - x2 + 6x - 9 = 396⇒ 12x = 396⇒ x = 33 Hence, the smallest odd number is 33 - 4 = 29.
