Q6 Text Solution:
and

Now, AX = B

3p + q = 5 ....(i)

Video Solution: –4p – q = 2 ....(ii)

3r + s = –2 ....(iii)
–4r – s = 1 ....(iv)
From equations (i) and (ii), we get –p = 7
p = –7
q = 5 – 3(–7)
q = 26

Q7 Text Solution: From

(iii) and (iv),
–r = –1
r=1
s = –2 – 3 = –5
s = –5

Hence,

Option (A) is correct

Video Solution:

Hence
