If and are prime numbers and are positive integers such that the LCM of is then the number of ordered pair is
If 2 numbers A and B have LCM as L, where L = ., then, number of ordered pairs of numbers having the above LCM will be:
Let us consider r: we need the power r in either p or q to be at least .
If the power of r in p is 2, then in q it should be 0 or 1 or 2 cases
If the power of r in q is 2, then in q it should be 0 or 1 or 2 cases
But (2, 2) has been counted twice. Thus, there are cases
Total of five cases for the exponents of r such that we have the given LCM which is
Similarly, the others follow.
Here,
Therefore, the answer =
Hence, (C) is correct.
