Question

Which of the following prime number can be written as pq+1 where p, q are also prime numbers ?

A.

13

B.

29

C.

19

D.

47

Correct option is D

Given:
Prime numbers p and q
Expression pq+1

Formula Used:
Properties of prime numbers.

Solution:
We need to find a prime number from the options that can be expressed as
pq+1
where both p and q are prime numbers.
Let us check the given options one by one.
For option A: 13
13=2×6+113=2\times6+1​​
(Here 6 is not prime)
13=3×4+113=3\times4+1​​

(Here 4 is not prime)
For option B: 29
29=2×14+129=2\times14+1​​
(Here 14 is not prime)
For option C: 19
19=2×9+119=2\times9+1​​
(Here 9 is not prime)
19=3×6+119=3\times6+1​​
(Here 6 is not prime)
For option D: 47
47=2×23+147=2\times23+1​​
Here, both 2 and 23 are prime numbers.
Thus, 47 satisfies the given condition.

Final Answer
So the correct answer is (d)
