    For integers m and n, both greater than 1, consider three following three statements:
    P: m divides n
    Q: m divides \[{{n}^{2}}\]
    R: m is prime, then

    A) \[Q\wedge R\to P\]

    B) \[P\wedge Q\to R\]

    C) \[Q\to R\]

    D) \[Q\to P\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] b.\[\frac{8}{4}=2,\frac{64}{4}=16;\] But 4 is not prime. Hence \[P\wedge Q\to R,\] false c. \[\frac{{{(6)}^{2}}}{12}=\frac{36}{12}=3;\] but 12 is not prime hence \[Q\to R,\] false d. \[\frac{{{(4)}^{2}}}{8}=\frac{16}{8}=2;\frac{4}{8}\] is not an integer hence\[Q\to P\]; false
