Are the positive numbers \(p\), \(q\), and \(r\) equal?
(1) \(p = q\).
This is not sufficient, as there is no information about \(r\).
(2) \(q^2 = r^2\).
Given that \(q\) and \(r\) are positive numbers, we can conclude that \(q = r\). However, this is still not sufficient as there is no information about \(p\).
(1)+(2) Since \(p = q\) and \(q = r\), it follows that \(p = q = r\). Sufficient.
Answer: C
As for your question: if \(p=q=2\) and \(r=\sqrt{4}\) --> \(\sqrt{4}=2\), so we have that \(p=q=r=2\).
Hope it's clear.
