Question Number 510 by 123456 last updated on 21/Jan/15

proof or given a counter example:  if p,q are prines with p>q, and ∃s prime  such s∈(q,p) then  p−q≤Σ_(r∈(q,p),r is prime) r

$${proof}\:{or}\:{given}\:{a}\:{counter}\:{example}: \\ $$ $${if}\:{p},{q}\:{are}\:{prines}\:{with}\:{p}>{q},\:{and}\:\exists{s}\:{prime} \\ $$ $${such}\:{s}\in\left({q},{p}\right)\:{then} \\ $$ $${p}−{q}\leqslant\underset{{r}\in\left({q},{p}\right),{r}\:{is}\:{prime}} {\sum}{r} \\ $$ $$ \\ $$

Finding a counter example will  need three consecutive primes  q, s, p such that  s=q+k  p>2q+k
