Does pqr equal r?
Does \(pqr=r\)? --> does \(pqr-r=0\)? --> does \(r(pq-1)=0\)? --> does \(r=0\) or \(pq=1\)?
(1) pqs = s where s is some unknown number --> \(pqs=s\) --> \(pqs-s=0\) --> \(s(pq-1)=0\) --> \(s=0\) or \(pq=1\). Not sufficient.
(2) mpq = m where m is some unknown number --> \(mpq=m\) --> \(mpq-m=0\) --> \(m(pq-1)=0\) --> \(m=0\) or \(pq=1\). Not sufficient.
(1)+(2) If \(s=m=0\) then \(pq\) can take any value, so it may or may not equal to 1. Not sufficient.
Answer: E.
