Q73 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2025 (27 MAY SHIFT 1) · Mathematics

If $\bar{u}, \bar{v}, \bar{w}$ are non coplanar vectors and $p, q$ are real numbers, then the equality $\left[\begin{array}{lll}3 \overline{\mathrm{u}} & \mathrm{p} \overline{\mathrm{v}} & \mathrm{p} \overline{\mathrm{w}}\end{array}\right]-\left[\begin{array}{lll}\mathrm{p} \overline{\mathrm{v}} & \overline{\mathrm{w}} & \mathrm{q} \overline{\mathrm{u}}\end{array}\right]-\left[\begin{array}{lll}2 \overline{\mathrm{w}} & \mathrm{q} \overline{\mathrm{v}} & \mathrm{q} \overline{\mathrm{u}}\end{array}\right]=0$ holds for

  • Correct answer
    A
    exactly one ordered pair of (p,q)
  • B
    exactly two ordered pairs of (p,q)
  • C
    all ordered pairs of (p,q)
  • D
    no ordered pair of (p,q)

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
