Answer

(i) 21 = 3 + 7 + 11

(Other ways: 21 = 5 + 5 + 11, 21 = 7 + 7 + 7, 21 = 3 + 5 + 13)

(ii) 35 = 5 + 11 + 19

(Other ways: 35 = 5 + 7 + 23, 35 = 3 + 13 + 19, 35 = 5 + 13 + 17, 35 = 7 + 11 + 17, 35 = 11 + 11 + 13)

(iii) 49 = 7 + 11 + 31

(Other ways: 49 = 5 + 7 + 37, 49 = 7 + 13 + 29, 49 = 13 + 13 + 23)

(iv) 63 = 7 + 13 + 43

(Other ways: 63 = 5 + 11 + 47, 63 = 3 + 7 + 53, 63 = 11 + 23 + 29, 63 = 17 + 23 + 23)
