In an examination, a student’s scores in Mathematics (M)(M) and Physics (P)(P) must satisfy the following conditions: (i) Translate each condition into a mathematical inequality in MM and/or PP. (ii) Using the inequalities from part (i) together with the given range for PP, deduce the complete range of values that MM can take. (iii) Determine whether MM can be an integer prime number. Give reasons for your answer based on the range found in part (ii).
