Solution

The correct option is D π2
Given, 3p+2q=i+j+k ..... (i)
and 3p2q=ijk .... (ii)
On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
6p=2i
Therefore, p=i3
On subtracting Eq. (ii) from Eq. (i), we get
4q2(j+k)q=12(j+k)
Let θ be the angle between p and q, then
pq=|p||q|cosθ
cosθ=pq|p||q|
cosθ=16i(j+k)|p||q|=0=cos90
Thus θ=90=π2
