Correct Answer :

Option A

300

300

Solution :

The correct option is 300.

To find the sum of all the prime numbers between 12 and 49, we first need to identify all the prime numbers in this range. A prime number is a whole number greater than 1 whose only divisors are 1 and itself.

Let's list the prime numbers between 12 and 49:
13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, and 47.

Now, we add these prime numbers together to find their sum:

Sum=13+17+19+23+29+31+37+41+43+47

To calculate this sum systematically, we can group the numbers:
(13+17)+(19+23)+(29+31)+(37+41)+(43+47)
=30+42+60+78+90
=72+60+78+90
=132+78+90
=210+90
=300

Therefore, the sum of all the prime numbers between 12 and 49 is 300.
