Question

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Even

Find the sum of two prime numbers:

Prime numbers $2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19\dots \dots .$

Except $2$ all the prime numbers are odd numbers.

And we know that,

Odd number $+$ Odd number $=$ Even number

So, the sum of two prime numbers is even number.

Hence, option (B) is correct.
