Answer:
Let the four prime numbers, in the ascending order of magnitude are a, b, c and d.
Given that the product of the first three is 7429 and of the last three is 12673
So a×b×c = 7429
b×c×d = 12673
Divide them:
\begin{gathered}\frac{a \times b \times c}{b \times c \times d} = \frac{7429}{12673} \\ \\ \frac{a}{d} = \frac{17}{29}\end{gathered}
b×c×d
a×b×c
=
12673
7429
d
a
=
29
17
Thus the first number is 17
The fourth number is 29
The middle two numbers are 19 and 23.
So your answer is B. 29
