Solution

The correct option is C 6
Given: p is a real number.

pq2=64

As it is given p is an real number, the value of q2 will be 1, 4, 9, 16, and so on.

If pq2=64, then the possible values of p and q will be (1, 8), (4, 4), (8, 1) and also negative values of q like (1, –8), (4, –4), and (8, –1).

Therefore, there are 6 possible values for q for the above condition.
