Determine the number that divides difference between the sum of prime numbers from 21 to 30 and the sum of composite from 21 to 30 :

Explanation of the correct option.

The prime numbers from 21 to 30 are 23and29.

So, the sum of these prime numbers is:

23+29=52

The composite numbers from 21 to 30 are 21,22,24,25,26,27,28,and30.

The sum of these composite numbers is:

21+22+24+25+26+27+28+30=203

The difference between the sum of prime and composite numbers is:

203-52=151

The number 151 is a prime number.

So, it is divisible by 1and151.

Thus, option (C) is the correct option.

The number 151 is a prime number so it cannot be divisible by 3,7,or17.

So, options (A), (B), and (D) are incorrect.

Hence, option (C) is the correct option.
