Detailed Solution

Given two prime numbers p and q.
Prime numbers are those that have only two factors, one and the number itself.
The prime number's HCF is always 1.
Therefore, HCF (p, q) =  1
Product of two numbers = Product of their LCM and HCF
p×q=LCM(p,q)×HCF(p,q) pq=LCM(p,q)×1 pq=LCM p,q LCM p,q =pq  
Therefore LCM of p and q is pq.  
Hence the correct option is 4.
