Answer

Let the number be N.

The successor of the number is N + 1.

The predecessor of the number is N − 1.

According to the problem, the sum of the successor and the predecessor is 1326:

⇒ (N + 1) + (N − 1) = 1326

⇒ N + 1 + N − 1 = 1326

⇒ 2N = 1326

⇒ N = 13262\dfrac{1326}{2}

⇒ N = 663

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
