Correct Answer :

Option A

57

Solution :

The correct option is 57.


Let's analyze the given conditions step-by-step to find the required 2-digit number:


Step 1: Check the sum of digits condition
The problem states that the sum of the digits must be a multiple of both 3 and 4.
The smallest non-zero common multiple of 3 and 4 is 3×4=12.
So, the sum of the digits of the 2-digit number must equal 12 (or a higher multiple of 12, but 12 is the only multiple possible for the sum of two single digits since the maximum sum of two digits is 9+9=18).


Step 2: Test the given options

Let's test each option against all conditions:


1. Option 57:
- Tens place digit = 5
- Units place digit = 7
- Are 5 and 7 consecutive prime numbers? Yes, 5 and 7 are consecutive prime numbers (the prime numbers sequence is 2, 3, 5, 7, 11...).
- Sum of digits = 5+7=12.
- Is 12 a multiple of 3 and 4? Yes, 12=3×4.
Thus, 57 satisfies all conditions.


2. Option 23:
- Sum of digits = 2+3=5 (Not a multiple of 3 or 4).


3. Option 35:
- Sum of digits = 3+5=8 (Not a multiple of 3).


4. Option 13:
- 1 is not a prime number.
- Sum of digits = 1+3=4 (Not a multiple of 3).


Therefore, the number is 57.
