I'll try my best at this one.

What do you mean? p+q/pq?  Well, this can't happen because p+q will 
*ALWAYS* be smaller than pq

If you mean pq/p+q  (which I belive).. Then 
this can't happen, because odd * odd = odd (I can't think of an 
execption) and odd + odd = even (even though 2 is the only prime number, 
but I'm not going to worry about that). and odd/even will *NEVER* divide 
evenly
