Detailed Solution

Concept- Consecutive numbers are numbers that follow each other in descending order from smallest to largest.
Given data, the result of adding two digits in a row is -11.
Let us consider the first number to be a variable ‘a’, therefore the consecutive number of a is ‘a + 1’.
Now according to the given,
+ a + 1 = -11 2+ 1 = -11
2= -12
= -122
= -6, hence a + 1 = -6 + 1 = -5.
So, the two consecutive numbers are -6 and -5.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
