Is p^2 = q?

A - Q is prime
B - p^2 = q^2.

State A - Not sufnt. Q can, 2, 3, 5..
State B - Not enough info, can be 1,2,3,4...

Combined - Yes the answer will be NO p^2 is not equal to q, since1 is the only one that can satisfy orginal statement and B, but 1 is not a prime.

Hence C is the solution.


Agree that the answer is C, with a small change:
Combined - Yes the answer will be NO p^2 is not equal to q, since 1 or 0 are the only one that can satisfy orginal statement and B, but 0 and 1 are not prime.
