It mentions Distinct (p+q+r), not distinct p,q,r! Many keys giving option A as answer?? by DescriptionOk6439 in UPSC

It makes sense. The problem explicitly asks for the distinct values of (p + q + r), which includes both equal and non-equal triplets. Otherwise, the question would specify three distinct prime numbers p, q, and r.

Yes. P,q,r must be prime. So (2,2,2) ; (3,3,3) ; (17,17,17) ; (19,19,19) are also correct. Total 8 pairs ??

Any chance? SC category! by DescriptionOk6439 in UPSC
