Question

If A,B,C,D and E are five prime numbers, sum of these five prime numbers =266. It is given that A<B<C<D<E, the value of A^5 is

Answer 1

Concept:

* All prime numbers are odd

* 2 is the only even prime number.

* 2 is the smallest prime number.

Since A,B,C,D,E are prime numbers and the sum is even,

there must be one even prime among them.

But A<B<C<D<E

This implies A=2

A^5 = 2^5 =32
