So
31 is not divided by 2,3,5,7,11.etc - so it is prime no.
61 is not divided by 2,3,5,7,11 -so it is prime no.
71 is not divided by 2,3,5,,7,11 so it is prime no.
91 is divided by 7 it is not prime no.
So answer is D-91.

This is the easiest way to check prime number.
Ex that 31, So put the nearest square of this number 25<31>36, so square of 31 is something 5. Something, then find the number below 5 prime number i.e. 2 and 3, now check 31 is divisible by this number or not if this is divisible then it is not the prime number, if this is not divisible then it is a prime number.

If the number is 91 when we divide by 2 it is equal to 45.5 numbers in between 45.5 to 91 cannot exactly divide 91 except itself so when we take below that numbers 45.5. It is easy to tell given is prime or not.

2, 3, 5, 7.
1--1379.
2--39.
3--17.
4--137.
5--39.
6--17.
7--139.
8--39.
9--7.
These are the shortcuts for the prime number.
Lets see, 1--1379 means 11 is prime, 13 is prime, 17 is prime, 19 is prime.
Likewise 2--39 means 23 is prime, 29 is prime. This is the easy way to memorize the prime number. Its very easy (just you have to memorize the above given no).
