Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(R_2 \to R_2 - 2R_1, R_3 \to R_3 - 3R_1\) \( \left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 1+p & 1+p+q \\ 0 & 1 & -1+p \\ 0 & 3 & -2+3p\end{array}\right| \) \( = 1 \cdot ((1)(-2+3p) - (3)(-1+p)) \) \( = -2+3p - (-3+3p) \) \( = -2+3p+3-3p \) \( = 1 \)
