Correct Answer - Option 3 : 2
Given:
Three numbers x, x+1, and x+3
Concept used:
Prime numbers are the positive integers having only two factors, 1 and the integer itself, where 1 is neither prime nor composite.
Calculation:
Lets go through the options
⇒ Let x = 0 then 0, 1, 3
but 0 is not a prime number
⇒ Let x = 1 then 1, 2, 4
where 1 is prime but 2 and 4 are not prime.
⇒ Let x = 2 then 2, 3, 5
Yes all these are prime numbers.
⇒ Let x = 101 then 101, 102, 104
where 102,104 are not prime.
∴ for x equals to 2 we get three prime numbers.
