The difference between the squares of any two consecutive integers is equal to :

A. an even integer

B. difference of given integers

C. sum of given integers

D. product of given integers

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let the two consecutive integers be a and (a + 1).
Then,
(a + 1)² - a²
= a² + 1 + 2a - a²
= (2a + 1)
= (a + a + 1) = sum of given integers
