Let the sides be x,x+2,x+4 ,x being an odd integer then , x+(x+2)+(x+4)<1000 , i.e, 3*x<994 ,x being an odd integer. Max value of x can 331 Now x can be any odd no from 1 to 329...like 1,3,5,7,..............,331 and for every such x, you will get one triangle.. From arithmetic progression......331=1+(n-1)*2,...
