Question

State whether the following statement is True or False.

Two consecutive odd prime numbers are twin primes.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Twin prime numbers: Two prime numbers are called twin primes if there is present only one composite number between them. Or we can also say two prime numbers whose difference is two are called twin primes.

Two consecutive odd prime numbers are not twin primes . For example: $7\mathrm{and}11$ (here $7\mathrm{and}11$ are two consecutive odd prime, but difference between them is $4$)

Hence, the given statement is false.
