Question

write 60 as the sum of twin primes

Answer 1

Answer :

Twin prime - Two prime numbers are called twin primes if their difference be 2.

The prime numbers till 50 are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47.

We see that 29 and 31 are two prime numbers, having difference 2. So they are to be called twin primes.

Now, 60 = 29 + 31,
which is the required sum of twin primes.

Answer 2

Let the twin primes be P ans P+2
by applying the conditiion , we can write
p+[p+2]=60
2P=60-2=58
P=29

so p+2=29+2=31

So, the two primes are 29 and 31
