The stronger Goldbach conjecture states that any even integer greater than 7 can be written as the sum of two different prime numbers. For such representations of the even number 126, the largest possible difference between the two primes is

(A) 112
(B) 100
(C) 92
(D) 88
(E) 80


(x,y) = different primes

126=x+y

(A) 112=x-y…126=x+y…238=2x…x=119≠prime
(B) 100=x-y…126=x+y…226=2x…x=113=prime…y=126-113=13=prime

Answer (B)
