Prime number means that a number that is divisible only by itself and 1
Examples : 2,3,5,7,11.
Now in our question the options s 31, 61,71 and 91 here I think in our example we can find that the prime numbers only start with 2,1,3,5,7.
Thus the answer becomes 91.

Why only 91 is not a prime number?
In this case, 71 is also divisible by 3.

91 prime or not.
Which square number is exceeds 91?
10 ^2 right. So let's take a prime number which is less than 10.
2, 3, 5, 7.
Check the given number is divisible by 2, 3, 5, 7.
If it is divisible then it is not a prime number.
If not that would be a prime number.

The Question is "which is not a prime number".
In a very simple way how do we check whether a number is prime or not, .
The number should be divisible by one & the number it self right!.
Now see their options, that are, .
31. - is a prime number which can only be divided 1 & the number itself.
61. - same here.
71. - here too.
91. - is divisible by 1, 7, 91.
So, among other options, 91 is not a prime number.
