Answer
Option A is correct.
True.
Explanation
Let the smaller one of the two consecutive numbers be x.
Since they are consecutive numbers, the other number will be (x + 1)
The sum of the two numbers is said to be less than 55.
x + x + 1 < 55
2x + 1 < 55
2x < 55 - 1
2x < 54
Divide both sides by 2
(2x/2) < (54/2)
x < 27
So, we are told that x has to be less than 27.
Hence, the highest value that x can take on is 26.
x + 1 = 27
So, the greatest pair of integers whose sum can only be less than 55 are 26 and 27.
Hope this Helps!!!
