Question

The LCM of two prime numbers x and y (x > y) is 119. The value of 3y – x is:

A.

8

B.

2

C.

4

D.

6

Correct option is C

Given:

LCM of two prime numbers x and y (x > y) is 119.

Solution:

119 is not divisible by 2, 3, or 5. Checking divisibility by 7, we find: 119 ÷ 7 = 17

Therefore, 119 = 7 × 17

Since x and y are prime numbers and x > y, we have:

x = 17

y = 7

3y - x = (3 × 7) - 17 = 21 - 17 = 4

Therefore, the value of 3y - x is 4.
