The largest two-digit prime number is 97, and its reverse is 79. So, the sum is 176

Prove it there are no larger than this.... @Swapnil Maiti

Mirror Primes are ( 11 , 11 ) , ( 13 , 31 ) , ( 17 , 71 ) , ( 37 , 73 ) , ( 79 , 97 ) (11 , 11) , (13 , 31) , (17 , 71) , (37 , 73) , (79 , 97)

The largest possible sum = 79 + 97 = 176 = 79 + 97 = 176
