Solution

The correct option is C p2,q=3

A=2p612q113

For the planes to not have any common point of intersection.
A=0 and at least any one Ax, Ay, Az is non-zero.

Az=2p8125114

R1R12R2 and R2R2R3
Az=0p42011114
|Az|0

p4+20
p2

Also, |A|=0

R1R12R2 and R2R2R3
A=0p462q01q3113
(p4)(q3)(62q)=0
pq3p2q+6=0
p(q3)=2(q3)
p2q3=0
Hence, q=3
