Detailed Solution

Concept- For solving this question we should be aware of composite numbers in the question. add the given numbers in the option and find the factors of the numbers to find the answers to the question.
Lets add the number given in the option to find the factors of the numbers
For the first option 352+6=358.
So let's find the factor of 358
Using this method of factorization.

358

1

 Since 358 s an even number it have factors more than 1 and itself therefore 358 is a composite number
In 2nd option we have 357+7=364.
So let's find the factor of 364.

364

Since 364 is an even number it has factors more than 1 And itself therefore 364 is a composite number.
For 3rd option we have number 352+7=359

359

359

 

1

Since 359 is an odd number it doesn't factor more than 1 and itself therefore 359 is not a composite number.
For 4 th option we have number 353+1=354

2

354

177

177

 

1

Since 354 is an even number t have factor more than 1 and itself therefore 354 is a composite number.
Since the numbers 352+6, 357+7and 353+1 are the composite numbers whereas the number are composite numbers whereas the number 352+7 is not a composite number.
Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
