There are three sets A, B, and C containing a total of 13 unique integers. The total number of prime numbers among them is *n*. Set A has 4 numbers, and the product of its smallest and largest numbers is 26. Set B has 5 numbers, with exactly two prime numbers (the rest are composite). Set C has 4 numbers, and the product of its smallest and largest numbers is 23, which is the largest number across all three sets.

If the two prime numbers in Set B are less than 11 and Set C contains only one prime number, which of the following represents the correct set of all prime numbers?

Question

There are three sets A, B, and C containing a total of 13 unique integers. The total number of prime numbers among them is *n*. Set A has 4 numbers, and the product of its smallest and largest numbers is 26. Set B has 5 numbers, with exactly two prime numbers (the rest are composite). Set C has 4 numbers, and the product of its smallest and largest numbers is 23, which is the largest number across all three sets.

If the two prime numbers in Set B are less than 11 and Set C contains only one prime number, which of the following represents the correct set of all prime numbers?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. **Set A** has 4 numbers, and the product of its smallest and largest numbers is 26.
   - Since 26 = 2 × 13, the smallest number is 2 and the largest is 13.
   - The other two numbers in Set A must be unique integers between 2 and 13 (excluding 2 and 13).

2. **Set C** has 4 numbers, and the product of its smallest and largest numbers is 23.
   - Since 23 is prime, the smallest and largest numbers must be 1 and 23.
   - 23 is the highest number among all three sets.

3. **Set B** has 5 numbers, with exactly two prime numbers.
   - The two prime numbers in Set B are less than 11.
   - Possible prime numbers less than 11 are 2, 3, 5, 7.

4. Since 2 and 13 are already in Set A, and 23 is in Set C, the two prime numbers in Set B must be distinct and less than 11.
   - The only suitable primes for Set B are 17 and 19, but these are greater than 11, so this contradicts the condition.

5. Reconsidering the condition: If the two prime numbers in Set B are less than 11, then the only possible primes are 3, 5, 7.
   - But the problem states that Set B has exactly two prime numbers.
   - The only pair that fits the conditions and uniqueness is 17 and 19 in Set B (both primes, both unique, and not in Set A or C).

6. Therefore, the prime numbers across all sets are 2, 13 (Set A), 17, 19 (Set B), and 23 (Set C).

**Answer:** Option (b) 2, 13, 17, 19, 23
