a)10
b)25
c)52
d)65
e) none of these

Since 2pq5 is divisible by 25, q5 must be either 25 or 75.

Of the answer choices, only 52 and 65 are multiple of 13. However, only 52 can be pq, because then q5 = 25, making 2pq5 divisible by 25.

Answer: C

Answer: C


How do we know what the question is asking? The number pq i.e 52 or the product pq i.e 10. Qs is not clear in my opinion.
