Correct option is B- -26-Because-Let the two consecutive whole numbers be -x- and -x - 1- x - -x - 1- - 53- x - x - 1 - 53- 2x - 1 - 53- 2x - 53 - 1- 2x - 52- x - 52 - 2- x - 26-

The sum of two consecutive whole numbers is $$53.$$ The smaller number is

Correct option is B. $$26$$
Because,
Let the two consecutive whole numbers be $$x$$ and $$(x + 1)$$
$$= x + (x + 1) = 53$$
$$= x + x + 1 = 53$$
$$= 2x + 1 = 53$$
$$= 2x = 53 - 1$$
$$= 2x = 52$$
$$= x = 52 / 2$$
$$= x = 26$$

Correct option is B. $$26$$Because,Let the two consecutive whole numbers be $$x$$ and $$(x + 1)$$$$= x + (x + 1) = 53$$$$= x + x + 1 = 53$$$$= 2x + 1 = 53$$$$= 2x = 53 - 1$$$$= 2x = 52$$$$= x = 52 / 2$$$$= x = 26$$
