Do you think the reverse is also true, i.e. is the sum of any two consecutive positive integers is perfect square of a number? Give example to support your answer.

Solution

No, it is not always true.
for example  (i)  5 + 6 = 11, 11 is not a perfect square.
                 (ii) 21 + 22 = 43, 43 is not a perfect square.
