Let p-2, p, p+2 be the odd nos in ascending order
Going with the given conditions, we can write -
3[(p-2)^2 + p^2 + (p+2)^2] = (p-2+p+p+2)^2+24
i.e. 3[3p^2+8] = (9p^2+24)
i.e. 9p^2+24 = 9p^2+24
This does not give any solution of as the equations are equal.
Thus, Answer is Option (E)

Hi Aolas,
Here option (A) is incorrect due to the incorrect construction "...instead of to confine..."
Option (C) is not parallel due to the usage - "are allowed" and "of confining them".
Option (E) has correct usage.
