p_1 =2,    p_2 =3,     p_3 =5, ...  q_1 =1,    q_2 =4,     q_3 =6, ...
$${p}_{\mathrm{1}} =\mathrm{2},\:\:\:\:{p}_{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{3},\:\:\:\:\:{p}_{\mathrm{3}} =\mathrm{5},\:… \\ $$$${q}_{\mathrm{1}} =\mathrm{1},\:\:\:\:{q}_{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{4},\:\:\:\:\:{q}_{\mathrm{3}} =\mathrm{6},\:… \\ $$

p_4 =7 and q_4 =8  p_5 =11 and q_5 =9 but q_5 <p_5
$$\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{4}} =\mathrm{7}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{q}_{\mathrm{4}} =\mathrm{8} \\ $$$$\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{5}} =\mathrm{11}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{q}_{\mathrm{5}} =\mathrm{9}\:\mathrm{but}\:\mathrm{q}_{\mathrm{5}} <\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{5}} \: \\ $$
