The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationships between the statements P, Q, and R given the conditions of integers \( m \) and \( n \) both greater than 1. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Statements:** - Statement P: \( m \) divides \( n \) (denoted as \( m \mid n \)). - Statement Q: \( m \) divides \( n^2 \) (denoted as \( m \mid n^2 \)). - Statement R: \( m \) is a prime number. 2. **Analyzing the Implications:** - If \( m \mid n \) (P is true), then \( n \) can be expressed as \( n = km \) for some integer \( k \). - Squaring \( n \), we get \( n^2 = (km)^2 = k^2m^2 \). - Since \( n^2 \) is a multiple of \( m^2 \), it follows that \( m \mid n^2 \) (Q is true) because \( m \) divides \( k^2m^2 \). 3. **Conclusion from P to Q:** - Therefore, if P is true, Q must also be true. This establishes that P implies Q. 4. **Considering Statement R:** - Statement R states that \( m \) is a prime number. The truth of R does not affect the truth of P or Q directly. - However, if \( m \) is prime, it does not necessarily imply anything about the relationship between P and Q. 5. **Final Relationships:** - We conclude that: - Q is related to P (if P is true, Q is true). - The truth of R does not affect the relationship between P and Q. ### Answer: The correct option is that Q and R are related to P.
