It is given that p = 3q & q = 5r
Qt A
The remainder when pq is divided by r
Now r is already a factor of q so the product is divisible and the remainder will be 0.
Qt B
The remainder when pr is divided by q
Same as Qt A, q is already a factor of p so the product is divisible and the remainder will be 0.
Qt A = Qt B
Answer C

Let us calculate qty A
From information provided;
\(PQ = 3Q * 5R\)
or, \(15QR\)
When this is divided by R we get,
\(15Q\) so the remainder is 0
Now let us calculate qty B
we get,
\(3Q * R\)
or, \(3QR\)
when this is divided by Q we get,
\(3R\) so the remainder is again 0
Therefore the answer is C

Therefore the answer is C
