hi...i think answer should be D.
1) w and y are two prime number between 48 and 61 ==> 53 and 59
so X = { 54,55,56,57,58} ==> 5 values he it can take.
2) y - w = 6
given : w < X < y
w - 6 < x- 6 < y - 6
==> w < X < w+6
means X can take 5 values, lying between w and (w + 6).
Given that X and W are integers.
so Both are sufficient. they have asked how many different values it can take.
i think it is asking for number of values instead of values it self.

IMO - D
we can find out the number of values x can have if we know the difference between y and w
w = -3
y = 3
-3 < x < 3 and y - w = 6, number of values x can have is 5
w = 1
y = 7
1 < x < 7 and y - w = 6, number of values x can have is 5
