Question

Find two consecutive natural numbers whose sum is $63$.

• A. $31$ and $36$
• B. $30$ and $32$
• C. $31$ and $32$
• D. $54$ and $32$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $31$ and $32$

Let the number be $x$ and $x+1$

According to the question

$x+x+1=63$

$2x=62$

$x=31$

$x+1=31+1=32$

So the two consecutive natural numbers are $31$ and $32$
