MCQ
A two-digit number $\overline{a b}$ is called almost prime if one obtains a two-digit prime number by changing at most one of its digits $a$ and $b$. (For example, $18$ is an almost prime number because $13$ is a prime number). Then the number of almost prime two-digit numbers is
  • A
    $56$
  • B
    $75$
  • C
    $87$
  • $90$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$90$
d
(d)

Since in the group of first $10$ two digit number $10-19$, has atleast $1$ prime number similarly in other groups of 10 two digits numbers

$20-29$, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, $80-89$ and $90-99$ have almost $1$ prime numbers.

So, the number of almost prime two-digit number is $90 .$
