  1. A 252
  2. B 254
  3. C 225
  4. D 224
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 225

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, \(r, s, t\) are prime numbers.
\(\therefore\) Selection of \(p\) and \(q\) are as under

\(\therefore\) Total number of ways to select \(s=9\).
Similarly, the number of ways to select \(t=5\).
\(\therefore\) Total number of ways \(=5 \times 9 \times 5=225\).
