The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to convert each of the numbers given in base \( n \) to decimal and find a value of \( n \) such that the resulting decimal numbers are consecutive prime numbers. Let's break down the steps: ### Step 1: Convert \( (35)_n \) to Decimal The number \( (35)_n \) can be converted to decimal as follows: \[ (35)_n = 3 \cdot n^1 + 5 \cdot n^0 = 3n + 5 \] ### Step 2: Convert \( (37)_n \) to Decimal Next, we convert \( (37)_n \): \[ (37)_n = 3 \cdot n^1 + 7 \cdot n^0 = 3n + 7 \] ### Step 3: Convert \( (45)_n \) to Decimal Now, we convert \( (45)_n \): \[ (45)_n = 4 \cdot n^1 + 5 \cdot n^0 = 4n + 5 \] ### Step 4: Convert \( (51)_n \) to Decimal Finally, we convert \( (51)_n \): \[ (51)_n = 5 \cdot n^1 + 1 \cdot n^0 = 5n + 1 \] ### Step 5: Set Up the Equations Now we have the following expressions for each number in decimal: - \( 3n + 5 \) - \( 3n + 7 \) - \( 4n + 5 \) - \( 5n + 1 \) We need to find \( n \) such that these four expressions yield consecutive prime numbers. ### Step 6: Test Possible Values of \( n \) We will test the given options for \( n \): 2, 6, 8, and 12. #### Testing \( n = 2 \): - \( 3(2) + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11 \) - \( 3(2) + 7 = 6 + 7 = 13 \) - \( 4(2) + 5 = 8 + 5 = 13 \) - \( 5(2) + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11 \) (Not consecutive) #### Testing \( n = 6 \): - \( 3(6) + 5 = 18 + 5 = 23 \) - \( 3(6) + 7 = 18 + 7 = 25 \) (Not prime) #### Testing \( n = 8 \): - \( 3(8) + 5 = 24 + 5 = 29 \) - \( 3(8) + 7 = 24 + 7 = 31 \) - \( 4(8) + 5 = 32 + 5 = 37 \) - \( 5(8) + 1 = 40 + 1 = 41 \) Here, we have the numbers: 29, 31, 37, and 41, which are all consecutive prime numbers. #### Testing \( n = 12 \): - \( 3(12) + 5 = 36 + 5 = 41 \) - \( 3(12) + 7 = 36 + 7 = 43 \) - \( 4(12) + 5 = 48 + 5 = 53 \) - \( 5(12) + 1 = 60 + 1 = 61 \) Here, we have the numbers: 41, 43, 53, and 61, which are also consecutive prime numbers. ### Conclusion Both \( n = 8 \) and \( n = 12 \) yield consecutive prime numbers, but since the question seems to focus on the first valid option, we conclude that the answer is: \[ \boxed{8} \]
