Let the two consecutive odd positive integers be x and x + 2
Since both the integers are smaller than 10
∴ x < 10 and x + 2 < 10
x < 10 and x < 8
x < 8 ...(i)
Also, ...(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we have
But x is odd.
x = 5, 7 and x + 2 = 7, 9
Hence, the pair of odd numbers are satisfying the given conditions are 5, 7 and 7, 9.
