Detailed Solution

We have taken two number
p and q are odd number
We know,
Smallest odd prime number =3
Smallest odd composite number = 9
Highest common factor of HCF (3, 9) = 3
Lowest common factor LCM (3, 9) = 9
When we consider odd number

p

is divided by

q^{2}

Thus,

p

is a factor of

q^{2}

Now,

q^{2} \times q = q^{3}

q^{2} \times q

[it will be factor of

q^{3}

]
Then,

p

is a factor of

q^{3}

Therefore, p is divided by

q^{3}

Correct option is 1.
