The correct answer is:
225
225
Since, $r, s, t$ are prime numbers.
$\therefore$ Selection of $p$ and $q$ are as under

$\therefore$ Total number of ways to select $s=9$.
Similarly, the number of ways to select $t=5$.
$\therefore$ Total number of ways $=5 \times 9 \times 5=225$.
$\therefore$ Selection of $p$ and $q$ are as under

$\therefore$ Total number of ways to select $s=9$.
Similarly, the number of ways to select $t=5$.
$\therefore$ Total number of ways $=5 \times 9 \times 5=225$.
