The 77th prime number is 389 and 71th is 353. M=389, N=353. M-N=36. So 36 is the answer..!!

include <stdio.h>

main() { int m, n, count=0,i,j=2,f; while(count<=77) { f=0; for(i=2;i<j;i++) { if(j%i==0) { f=1; break; }

   }
    if(f==0)
    {
        count++;
        if(count==71)
        {
            m=j;
        }
        if(count==77)
        {
            n=j;
        }
    }
    j++;

} printf("\n%d",n-m); }
