Try this beautiful problem from the Pre-RMO, 2019 based on Largest prime factor.
Consider the set E={5,6,7,8,9}, for any partition {A,B} of E, with both A and B non empty. Consider the number obtained by adding the product of elements of A to the product of elements of A to the product of elements of B. Let N be the largest prime number among these numbers, find the sum of the digits of N.
Largest prime

Answer: is 17.
PRMO, 2019, Question 21
Elementary Number Theory by David Burton
here one of the set A or set B contains odd number only
set A set B
I 5 6,7,8,9 5+(6)(7)(8)(9)=3029 not prime
II 7 5,6,8,9 7+(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)=2167 not prime
III 9 5,6,7,8 9+(5)(6)(7)(8)=not prime
IV 5,7 6,8,9 (5)(7)+(6)(8)(9)=467 prime
V 5,9 6,7,8 (5)(9)+(6)(7)(8)=not prime
VI 7,9 5,6,8 (7)(9)+(5)(6)(8)=not prime
VII 5,7,9 6,8 (5)(7)(9)+(6)(8)not prime
N=467
or, 4+6+7=17.
