Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
To solve this problem, we identify and sum the required prime numbers:
First five prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.
Sum: 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 = 28
Next five prime numbers: 13, 17, 19, 23, and 29.
Sum: 13 + 17 + 19 + 23 + 29 = 101
Difference between the two sums:
101 - 28 = 73
Final Answer: Option 3 (73)
