a. 30-80                  b. 40-90                c. 50-100                d. None of these

Q3. If the difference of some pairs of elements in S is prime, then find the largest possible value of a + b + c + d.

a. 190                     b. 232                   c. 250                    d. 272

 
Q4. Using the information provided in the above question, find the number of distinct ways in which the elements of S can be chosen. Assume that a > b > c > d ?
