If we take K = 13, then the only way we could get the sum = 15 if m = 1 and n = 1. but since it is given that m < n < k, thus the minimum value for m can be 1 and n can be 2. This gives us the minimum value for (m + n) = 3. If minimum value for (m + n) = 3, then maximum value of k = 15 - 3 = 12.abhigyanc wrote:why are you not taking 13 into consideration? its a prime number?!?!
