Open in App
Solution

A pair of two numbers is said to be a pair of twin primes, if the two numbers are both prime and the difference between them is 2.

For finding the twin primes we have to take another prime number to make difference between them as 2.

Let 61 be another prime number.

Since, both 61 and 59 are prime numbers.

Now the difference between 61 and 59 is:

61-59=2

Hence, twin prime of 59 is 61.
