The answer is 2)20.

The proof is here,

w.k.t

pq=64; so [ p=64/q]

therefore

64/q+q=20

[64+q²]/q=20

[64+q²]=20q

so,

q²-20q+64=0

q=16,4.

16 is not possible (I worked and got no answer)

so we can take 4.

(64/4)+4²=20

16+16=32.

This is also not possible.

so the answer is option 2.

Thank you!!
