Solution

Correct Option: 3

Looking at each number, let's examine their prime factorizations:

175=52×7=25×7175 = 5^2 \times 7 = 25 \times 7

Prime factors: 5, 7 (both single-digit primes)


137137 is a prime number.

To verify: 13711.7\sqrt{137} \approx 11.7

Checking divisibility by primes up to 11: not divisible by 2, 3, 5, 7, or 11.

Therefore, 137 is prime (can be considered as having itself as the only prime factor).


247=13×19247 = 13 \times 19

Prime factors: 13, 19 (both double-digit primes)


215=5×43215 = 5 \times 43

Prime factors: 5, 43 (one single-digit prime)


The pattern:

175175: Contains single-digit prime factor (5, 7)

137137: Prime number itself (single-digit prime when considering it has only itself)

215215: Contains single-digit prime factor (5)

247247: All prime factors are double-digit (13 and 19)

Therefore, 247 is the odd one out as it is the only number whose prime factorization contains exclusively double-digit primes.
