I don't know how to "slove"[sic] these kinds of problems either. I don't know how to "slove" any kind of problem. I know how to solve problems where you have a mathematical expression that contains a relational operator, but that is not the case here. Therefore, solve, despite the fact that it is actually an English word, is not the correct word. However, I think I can help you answer this question.
An expression such as 
can be simplified if the prime factorization of 
contains any pairs of prime factors.
Note that 
has 3 factors, namely 
, 
, and 
. If were replaced by 
or 
, both of which are prime and neither of which pairs either of the two factors of 
, then there is no simplification that can be done. However, the same cannot be said of the other two choices. This problem has two correct answers, b and d.
