Solution

True
Given, one of the consecutive number=x
Then, the next consecutive number=x+1
According to the question,
x+x+1=93
$\Rightarrow 2 x = 93 - 1 \Rightarrow 2 x = 92 \Rightarrow \frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{92}{2} ∴ x = 46$
Hence, the other consecutive number =46+1=47=93-46=93-x.

True Given, one of the consecutive number=x Then, the next consecutive number=x+1 According to the question, x+x+1=93 ⇒2x=93−1⇒2x=92⇒2x2=922∴x=46 Hence, the other consecutive number =46+1=47=93-46=93-x.
