    Consider all prime numbers between 1 and 100. Which of the following statements is (are) correct? a. A number that is one greater than a multiple of 5
    Question

    Consider all prime numbers between 1 and 100.

    Which of the following statements is (are) correct?

    a. A number that is one greater than a multiple of 5 has a unit digit 3 or 6.

    b. The sum of all numbers which are one greater than a multiple of 5 is 215.

    c. The sum of all numbers which are one greater than a multiple of 5 and also one greater than a multiple of 6 is 92.

    A.

    b only

    B.

    a and b

    C.

    a and c

    D.

    b and c

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    All prime numbers between 1 and 100.

    Prime numbers = 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97
    Analyze each statement
    Statement a (I): “A number that is one greater than a multiple of 5 has a unit digit 3 or 6.”
    5×1=5=>5+1=65 \times 1 = 5 \Rightarrow 5 + 1 = 6​​
    5×2=10=>10+1=115 \times 2 = 10 \Rightarrow 10 + 1 = 11​​
    5×3=15=>15+1=165 \times 3 = 15 \Rightarrow 15 + 1 = 16​​
    5×4=20=>20+1=215 \times 4 = 20 \Rightarrow 20 + 1 = 21​​
    5×5=25=>25+1=265 \times 5 = 25 \Rightarrow 25 + 1 = 26​​
    Result: The unit digits of numbers one more than a multiple of 5 are 1 or 6, not 3 or 6.
    Hence, Statement a is FALSE.
    Statement b (II): “The sum of all numbers which are one greater than a multiple of 5 is 215.”
    5×2+1=115 \times 2 + 1 = 11​​
    5×6+1=315 \times 6 + 1 = 31​​
    5×8+1=415 \times 8 + 1 = 41​​
    5×12+1=615 \times 12 + 1 = 61​​
    5×14+1=715 \times 14 + 1 = 71​​
    These are all primes. So selected numbers: 11, 31, 41, 61, 71
    Their sum: 11+31+41+61+71=21511 + 31 + 41 + 61 + 71 = 215​​
    Statement b is TRUE
     Statement c (III):“The sum of all numbers which are one greater than a multiple of 5 and also one greater than a multiple of 6 is 92.”
    LCM (5,6) = 30
    Form of such numbers: 30k + 1
    30×1+1=3130 \times 1 + 1 = 31​​
    30×2+1=6130 \times 2 + 1 = 61​​
    30×3+1=9130 \times 3 + 1 = 91​​
    From these, which are prime?
    31 → Prime
    61 → Prime
    91 → Not Prime
    So valid primes: 31 and 61
    Their sum: 31 + 61 = 92
    Statement c is TRUE

    Thus, the correct option is (d) b and c
