Condition 1 : Insuff because if you try with possible values for M,K then one cannot deduce whether M<K or otherwise.
Condition2 : Consider values of M,K as (2,4) (20,22) etc
In this case (M-1, K+1) = (1,5) (19,23) which are not consecutive odd numbers. If you consider values of M>K in this case, we get (M-1,K+1) as equal values.
I think the Answer should be E.
Hope I am not missing something here.

Yeah I am not sure about this one too.
st.1
Insufficient because M and K could be 2 and 4, or M and K could be -2 and -4.
st.2
Even (M,K) = Odd (M,K)
2,4 = 1,5
4,2 = 3,3
-2,-4 = -3,-3
-4,-2 = -5,-1
0,2 = -1,3
2,0 = 1,1
0,-2 = -1,-1
-2,0 = -3,1
I do not get any odd consecutive numbers. Therefore, I would say this statement is insufficient.
I am not sure about this question, because statement 2 is saying that the result will be consecutive odd numbers, while I dont get this.
I will choose E, but I am not sure.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Regards,
Alex
