Sum of two numbers \(\blacksquare\) and \(\triangle\) is 14, which is an even number
=> Either both \(\blacksquare\) and \(\triangle\) are odd or both are even
\( \triangle\) is an odd number => \(\blacksquare\) is also an odd number
=> Possible cases for single digit numbers are 5 + 9, 7 + 7, 9 + 5
\(\blacksquare\) < \( \triangle\)
=> \(\blacksquare\) = 5 and \( \triangle\) = 9
So, Answer will be 9
Hope it helps!
