sorry to say this my friend
but you will not find an answer to your question.
You cannot find 9 odd numbers that will sum up to 60.
actually, try to add any 9 odd numbers.
Obviously, you will find out that the answer is always an odd number.
That;'s the rule,
odd number plus odd number = odd number
the even will appear only when the number of addends is even numver.
but if odd, the answer will always become an odd number.
thanks for the trick.
jhehehehehe

1 + 3 + 3 + 5 + 5 + 7 + 7 + 9 + 9 + 11 = 60

THERE IS NO ANS TO THIS QUESTION BECAUSE u have told us to take to take 9 num which is an odd number(i mean9) and 60 is an even number so i don't think that v can get the ans an even number by adding the odd number to times by odd like 5+5+5=15
5 is an odd number and v have adden 3...5s to get 15 which is an odd number..... 3 is also an odd number so v can't get the even num as an ans but if it wold b
5+5=10
5 is an odd number but v have taken 2 ......5s to get 10 so if one is even and the other is odd then v can get an even num as an ans ...................this is the rule of the Mathe's

It's impossible you know!
just think add 1 9 times the answer is odd
so there's no odd numbers can be a total 9 times which is
an even number!

I think this works..check it out
1 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 7 + 1 + 5 + 5 + 9 = 60!!!!!!
I dont think this is the only combination u can have giving a sum of 60. There wil be many more of them.

I don't know what you trying to say.
7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 3 + 3+ 5 + 5 + 9 = 60. Just wait for others answer. There are more ways to see ask question breifly, just use it.
Just don'y type a Question in single LINE / Word. As i new to Computer World - i don't have time understand " Short notes of computer language".

balan and harshini are using 10 odd numbers, and mehbooba is using negative numbers, both of which is not allowed.
according to me the answer can be-
21+3+5+1+2+21+3+3+1= 60
IF YOU CONSIDER 2 AS AN ODD NUMBER (which some mathematicians do)
and if you do not consider 2 to be an odd number then there is no possible answer to this question.

Can't be done. Sum of any 2 odd numbers is an even number. So with 9 odd numbers, you will eventually have 1 odd number and 1 even number, the sum of which can never be another even number.

Even amounts of odd numbers added are even, thus an odd number of odd numbers are odd. The only suggestion I can come up with is using the "number zero".. zero is kinda neither or both - odd or even. Tricky question, good luck.
