(i) Write four consecutive odd numbers succeeding 79.
(ii) Write three consecutive even numbers preceding 124.
Answer
(i) The odd numbers immediately after 79 are obtained by adding 2 successively.
79 + 2 = 81, 81 + 2 = 83, 83 + 2 = 85, 85 + 2 = 87.
Hence, the four consecutive odd numbers succeeding 79 are 81, 83, 85 and 87.
(ii) The even numbers immediately before 124 are obtained by subtracting 2 successively.
124 − 2 = 122, 122 − 2 = 120, 120 − 2 = 118.
Hence, the three consecutive even numbers preceding 124 are 118, 120 and 122.
