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
Let the present age of the father be 'x' and that of the son be 'y'. Then x/y = 8/3∴ 3x = 8y Further, x + 12/y + 12 = 2/1 ∴ x + 12 = 2y + 24 ∴ x - 2y = 12 ......(ii)From eqn (i) and (ii), x = 48, y = 18 ∴ sum = 66 yrs.
