B
Prime numbers less than 10 = 2, 3, 5, 7.
If the difference between the largest and the smallest number is ending in 5, the prime numbers in the end position have to be 7 and 2.
The smallest and largest numbers are of form 2_7 and 7_2
Since it is given that the sum of the digits is >13, x will be 5.
Verifying, 752-257 = 495. Answer is option (b).
