If (\sqrt{3}=\frac{p}{q}) and (p=3r), what correct equation follows next?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (q^2=3r^2)

Step 1: From (\sqrt{3}=\frac{p}{q}), we get (p^2=3q^2). Step 2: Substituting (p=3r) gives (9r^2=3q^2), so (q^2=3r^2). Step 3: This shows the path to proving (q) is divisible by (3).
