Download Solution PDFGiven:
The set of all perfect numbers and twin primes among the numbers {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 6, 7, 8, 9}.
Formula used:
A perfect number is a positive integer equal to the sum of its proper divisors (excluding itself).
A pair of twin primes are two prime numbers that differ by 2.
Calculation:
Numbers given: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 6, 7, 8, 9}
Identify perfect numbers:
- For 6: Proper divisors = {1, 2, 3}. Sum = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. Hence, 6 is a perfect number.
- No other number in the set satisfies this property.
Identify twin primes:
- Twin primes from the set: (3, 5) and (5, 7).
Combine perfect numbers and twin primes:
- Perfect number: {6}
- Twin primes: {3, 5, 7}
Combined set = {3, 5, 6, 7}
∴ The correct answer is option (4).
