Complete the series: 29, 31, 37, 41, 43 ______
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 47
The terms are consecutive prime numbers (numbers with no factor other than 1 and themselves): after 29 the primes are 31, 37, 41 and 43, with none left out.
44 is even, 45 \(=5\times9\) and 46 is even, so none of them is prime
47 has no factor other than 1 and 47, so the next prime is 47
