Answer- The above question is from the chapter 'Real Numbers'.
Concept used: Prime Numbers are those numbers which have 2 factors i.e. number itself and 1.
Given question: If x, y ( x < y) are primes satisfying x + y = 30, then the number of such pairs (x, y) is ____ .
Solution: (We will solve the question by hit and trial method.)
Prime numbers less than 30:-
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23 and 29.
By using hit and trial method,
7 + 23 = 30
where x = 7; y = 23
13 + 17 = 30
where x = 13; y = 17
11 + 19 = 30
where x = 11; y = 19
⇒ There will no other pairs.
∴ If x, y ( x < y) are primes satisfying x + y = 30, then the number of such pairs (x, y) is 3.
