    If X represents the smallest prime number multiplied by 4 and added to the least common multiple of 5 and 10; Y represents the smallest odd prime numb
    Question

    If X represents the smallest prime number multiplied by 4 and added to the least common multiple of 5 and 10; Y represents the smallest odd prime number multiplied by 5 and added to the 2nd smallest odd prime, then which of the following is true?

    A.

    X and Y are equal.

    B.

    X + Y = 10.

    C.

    X is greater than Y.

    D.

    The difference of Y and X is 2.

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    Smallest prime number = 2

    LCM of 5 and 10 = 10

    Smallest odd prime number = 3

    2nd smallest odd prime number = 5

    Solution:

    For XX:​

    Multiply the smallest prime number by 4:

    2 ×4 = 8

    Add the LCM of 5 and 10:

    8 + 10 = 18 Therefore, X = 18

    For Y:

    Multiply the smallest odd prime number by 5:

    3 ×5 = 15

    Add the 2nd smallest odd prime number: 15 + 5 = 20 Therefore, Y = 20

    Difference between Y and X is  (20 - 18) =2

    Thus the correct answer is (D)
