Question

Express each of the following as sum of twin prime a) 24 b) 60​

Answer 1

SOLUTION:-

A)24= 11+13

• And we know that 11 and 13 are twin primes....

B) Let 1st prime number =X

Let 2nd prime number =X+2

• since twin prime numbers have the difference 2. we will add 2 for "X"

X+X+2=60

2x+2=60

2x=60-2

2x=58

X=58/2

X=29

• Let the 1st prime number=X=29
• Let the 2nd prime number=X+2=29+2=31

AND 29,31 ARE TWIN PRIMES
