%N Least prime p such that 3 + 4*prime(p*n) = 5*prime(q*n) for some prime q.

%C Conjecture: Let a,b,c be pairwise relatively prime positive integers with a+b+c even and a not equal to b. Then, for any positive integer n, there are primes p and q such that a*prime(p*n) - b*prime(q*n) = c.

%C This includes the conjectures in A260252 and A260882 as special cases.

%C For example, for a = 7, b = 17, c = 20 and n = 30, we have 7*prime(4695851*30) - 17*prime(2020243*30) = 7*2922043519 - 17*1203194389 = 20 with 4695851 and 2020243 both prime.

%e a(2) = 157 since 3 + 4*prime(157*2) = 3 + 4*2083 = 8335 = 5*prime(131*2) with 157 and 131 both prime.
