Transcription (in Hindi): "(क) 2 से 100 के बीच में कितने अभाज्य संख्याएँ हैं? (ख) 1 से 100 के बीच कितनी अभाज्य संख्याएँ हैं?"

Translation (in English): "(a) How many composite numbers are there between 2 and 100? (b) How many prime numbers are there between 1 and 100?"

Solutions:

  1. (a) Composite numbers between 2 and 100:

Composite numbers are numbers that have more than two factors. They are not prime numbers.

  • The prime numbers between 2 and 100 are:
    2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97.
    There are 25 prime numbers between 1 and 100.

  • Total numbers between 2 and 100 = 99 numbers (from 2 to 100).

  • Number of composite numbers = Total numbers - Prime numbers
    = 99 - 25
    = 74.

Answer: There are 74 composite numbers between 2 and 100.

  1. (b) Prime numbers between 1 and 100:

As listed above, the prime numbers between 1 and 100 are the same 25 primes mentioned.

Answer: There are 25 prime numbers between 1 and 100.
