Answer 1

a) not possible as sum of 3 odd numbers will give an odd value.
b) 53 = 17 + 13 + 23

Answer 2

Prime number: Any number which is divisible by 1 & itself only is called a prime number.All primes are odd except 2. 2 is a even prime number.A prime number is a natural number greater than 1.

Some prime numbers  are: 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23, 29, 31, 37, 41,43, 47, 53, 59........
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
53 as the sum of three odd primes= 13 + 17+ 23
                                                       = 11+ 19+ 23    
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------32= 17 + 11 +5
therefore 32 is expressed as sum of 3 off primes
Hope this will help you....
