Let the primes be p , q , r , s .And let p + q + r + s = t where t is also a prime.
Suppose all the primes p , q , r , s are odd.Then p + q + r + s = t will be even according as parity as (Odd+Odd)+(Odd+Odd)=Even+Even=Even
But that implies that t is an even prime number.Note that as p , q , r , s are all greater than or equal to 3 (since they are odd),their sum must be greater than or equal to 12.This implies that t is an even prime number greater than 12,contradiction.
Hence t is odd and at least one of the prime p , q , r , s is even.Hence their product p q r s will be even as well.
