Open in App
Solution

The twin prime numbers are pair of prime numbers whose difference is equal to 2
Now, for 120, first divide 120 by 2 , we get 60 and then by adding 1 and subtracting 1 , we get two numbers
60-1=59
60+1=61
Here, 59 and 61 are prime numbers which have a difference of 2 and add up to form 120
59+61=120
