Solution

The correct option is B p2,q3

Given planes are:

2x+py+6z=8x+2y+qz=5x+y+3z=4

Augmented matrix, A=2p6812q51134

We will find the rank of matrix A. For the planes to intersect in a point, the rank of this matrix must be 3.

R3R312R1 and R2R212R1

A=⎢ ⎢2p6802p2q3101p200⎥ ⎥

For the given system of equation to have unique solution,
1p20 and q30
p2 and q3
