answer is B.

st2 is sufficient... 24 consecutive integers - must be 12 even and 12 odd.
st1 insuff... 12 even number may imply 12, 13 or 11 odd numbers...

see a thread with similar question on a sequence of consecutive integers for a fuller explanation.

Thanks hobbit.

But st2 does not say "consecutive" i thought? (unless I didnt read it properly..)

I agree answer is B. I don't think "consequitive nos" needs to be mentioned in this questions since it asks the total no. of odd nos between two nos.
