In the problem below, AB, CD, and EF are two-digit numbers, where A, B, C, D, E and F represent distinct digits from 1 to 9. Is F prime? A B + C D E F B and D are consecutive integers. C = 8.

When both the conditions hold true, F is prime.

Step-by-step explanation:

AB, CD, and EF are two-digit numbers, where A, B, C, D, E and F represent distinct digits from 1 to 9.

  AB

+ CD

  EF

1st condition, B and D are consecutive.

Adding B and D gives us F.

Possible values can be (F being the unit value after adding not considering the carry over):

B + D = F

1+2=3

2+3=5

3+4=7

4+5=9

5+6=1

6+7=3

7+8=5

8+9=7

Here F is not prime (because 9 is not prime).

Now, let us consider the 2nd condition as well.

i.e. C = 8

For the following

  AB

+ CD

  EF

C is 8 then A must be 1 because any value other than 1 for A will make the sum of A and C greater than 9 and there will be a carry which is not the case here.

So, E = 8 + 1 = 9

Now, B  and D are consecutive and can not be 1, 8 or 9.

So, possible values are:

B + D = F

2 + 3 = 5

3 + 4 = 7

Here F is prime.

So, when both the conditions hold true, F is prime.

its mainly because the pattern will be infinite and will never end. it will look like a gilder or like a filpbook when set to motion.
