An odd number of lines are used in interlaced scanning because, in each field of the TV, the scanning displaces the field by a half of the area. If there were an even number of lines, it would flicker noticably.

An odd number of lines is used in interlaced scanning. During the scanning, the fields on the screen are displaced, and having an odd number of lines reduces the amount of flicker the viewer would see on the TV.
