Question

Sum of a and b in 73,79,83,a,97,b

Answer 1

Hey buddy,

# Answer- a+b=190

# Explanation-

Given numbers are

73, 79, 83, a, 97, b,...

By looking at the sequence all the numbers are prime numbers..

Hence,

a) Prime number between 83 and 97 is 89

a=89

b) Prime number after 97 is 101

b=101

Therefore,

a+b = 89 + 101

a+b = 190.

Hope this is useful...

Answer 2

Given:

The sequence 73, 79, 83, a, 97, b

To find:

Sum of a and b.

Solution:

Consider the series,

It is a series of all prime numbers.

Hence,

To find a:

There is only one prime number between 83 and 97 and prime number between 83 and 97 is a.

Hence, a = 89

To find b:

There is only one prime number between 97 and 103 and prime number between 97 and 103 is .

Hence, b = 101

Therefore,

The sum of a and b = 89 + 101

a+b = 190.

Sum of a and b in 73,79,83,a,97,b is 180.
