Find the odd number pair: 23 : 29, 19 : 25, 13 : 17, 3 : 5.
A23 : 29
B19 : 25 ✓ Correct
C13 : 17
D3 : 5
Correct answer: (B) 19 : 25
Explanation
19 : 25 is the odd pair.
In 23 : 29, 13 : 17 and 3 : 5 both numbers are prime.
Each of these three pairs joins two prime numbers.
19 is prime but 25 = 5 x 5 is not prime.
So the pair with a non-prime member stands apart.
