Hi,
Till date I was under the impression that 1 is neither prime nor composite.
But the explanations given by OG11 for question 118 is considering 1 as prime. Please let me know whether to consider 1 as prime or not while solving DS.

You got eyes of a hawk man!! :-) Very well observed.. I agree with you.. that's a mistake in OG.

1 is not a prime number.

That's Q118 in the DS section of OG11, and yes, it's a mistake. 1 is definitely not a prime number. I pointed out that error and two others in OG11 here:
