问题 If p is a prime number greater than 11, and p is the sum of the two prime numbers x and y, then x could be which of the following?

选项 A、2
B、5
C、7
D、9
E、13

答案A

解析 若p是比11大的质数(prime number),且p等于两个质数x,y的和,则x可能是下面的哪一个?
解:本题的正确答案为(A)。考生在解答此题时,应比较熟悉质数、奇数与偶数之间的相互关系。p是比11大的质数,所以p必是奇数。而p同时又是两质数的和,由于一个奇数只可能是一个奇数与一个偶数之和,故x、y中必有一个是2(因为除2以外,其他质数均为奇数)。若y取2时,则x无论取五个选项中的哪一个都不能满足题意,所以必有x=2。
