Case1: K = 7 (# factors = 2) and J = 5 (# factors = 2) Rem (k/j) = 2
Insufficient

ST2: 1<j<k<10

1. K and J has the same number of factors.
So,not necessary they will will be prime.For ex can be (3,7) or (6,8)

Not sufficient

2.1 < j < k < 10 -Not sufficient,as there are many such numbers

combining the two:
j=3,k=7 Remainder is 1
j=6,k=8 R is 2.
