Given that, p, q, and r are distinct positive integers.
We know,
Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder.
Also, Dividend > Divisor > Remainder.
Here, p=q×I+r .
p being the dividend has to be the greatest amongst all, q being the divisor is going to be the second greatest, and r the remainder has to be the lowest.
Hence, p>q>r.
Answer: E.

It is not always necessary that p will be greater than q. This is only the case for proper fractions, where numerator is bigger than the denominator.
A major part of the fractions, ie improper fractions is being ignored in saying that p>q.
However, the remainder r will always be lesser than q. Hence q>r should be the answer in my opinion.
