(b) 43

(c) 319

(d) 197

Answer: (a)

Explanation:

Test for prime numbers:

For numbers less than 100, it is not very difficult to determine whether it is a prime number or not. We can also check it up from the given under prime numbers.

For testing any number greater than 100 whether it is a prime number or not:

Step 1: We take the nearest integer larger than the approximate square root of that number. Suppose it is X.
Step 2: We test the divisibility of the given number by every prime number less than X.
Step 3: If the number is not divisible by any of them, then it is prime number. Otherwise it will be considered as a composite number.

We know that

Prime numbers less than 14 are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13

Clearly none of the number divides 149

Therefore, 149 is a prime number.
