If p=ax.by.cz and q=3x.b4.5z where a,b,c are primes and x,y,z are natural numbers, then which of the following is true if p=q ?
a + c = 2y
Since the prime factorization of a number is UNIQUE, we must have a = 3, y = 4, c = 5.
Hence ruling out the options, we find that a+c = 3 + 5 = 8 = 2y is the correct answer.
