-  The product of two consecutive number odd number is 6723. What is the greater number ?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Let the two consecutive odd number be (x + 1) and (x + 3). 
 According to question (x + 1) (x + 3) = 6723Correct Option: DLet the two consecutive odd number be (x + 1) and (x + 3). 
 According to question (x + 1) (x + 3) = 6723
 ⇒ x2 + 3x + x + 3 = 6723
 ⇒ x2 + 4x + 3 = 6723
 ⇒ x2 + 4x - 6720 = 0
 ⇒ x2 + 84x - 80x - 6720 = 0
 ⇒ ( x - 80 )( x + 84 )= 0
 ∴ x = 80, (x ≠ -84)
 Hence, the greater number = 80 + 3 = 83
