Question:
<p>Let <span class="math-tex">\({p}=x^{2} {y}^{3} {z}^{{n}}\)</span> and <span class="math-tex">\({q}=x^{3} {y}^{{m}} {z}^{2}\)</span>, where <span class="math-tex">\(x, {y}, {z}\)</span> are prime numbers. If <span class="math-tex">\(\operatorname{LCM}({p}, {q})=x^{3} {y}^{4} {z}^{3}\)</span>, then the value of <span class="math-tex">\((2 {~m}+3 {n})\)</span> is</p>
