We can rewrite the equation:

PS = QR

So PS and QR are exactly the same number, and must have the same divisors. Statement 1 tells us PS is divisible by 140, so PS is divisible by 5. So QR must be divisible by 5, but maybe only Q is divisible by 5, and maybe only R is. But Statement 2 tells us Q is not divisible by 5, so R must be, and the answer is C.
