Since the difference between the divisors and the respective remainders is not constant, back substitution is the convenient method. None of the given numbers is satisfying the condition.
Let the consecutive even numbers be A = 2x, B = 2x + 2, C = 2x + 4, D = 2x + 6 and E = 2x + 8= A + B + C + D + E = 130= 10x + 20 = 130∴ x = 130 - 20/10 = 11Therefore, product of A and E= 22 x 30 = 660
Let the two consecutive odd numbers be 2x - 1 and 2x + 1.(2x - 1) (2x - 1) = 4095= 4x² - 1 = 4095= 4x² = 4096= x² = 1024∴ x = 32∴ The numbers are 63 and 65.Greater number = 65
