  1. A \(p \neq 2, q=3\)
  2. B \(p \neq 2, q \neq 3\)
  3. C \(p=2, q=\frac{15}{4}\)
  4. D \(p=2, q=3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(p \neq 2, q=3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{pmatrix} 2 & p & 6 & 8 \\ 1 & 2 & q & 5 \\ 1 & 1 & 3 & 4 \end{pmatrix}\) \(R_1 \leftrightarrow R_3 \Rightarrow \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1 & 3 & 4 \\ 1 & 2 & q & 5 \\ 2 & p & 6 & 8 \end{pmatrix}\) \(R_2 \leftarrow R_2 - R_1\),…
