    If p, q, r are 3 real numbers satisfying the matrix equation, \[[p\,q\,r]\left[ \begin{matrix}    3 & 4 & 1  \\    3 & 2 & 3  \\    2 & 0 & 2  \\ \end{matrix} \right]=[3\,\,0\,\,1]\] then \[2\operatorname{p}+\operatorname{q}-\operatorname{r}\] equals:     JEE Main  Online Paper (Held On 22 April 2013)

    A)  -3                                          

    B)  -1

    C)  4                                            

    D)  2

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Given \[[\begin{matrix}    p & q & r  \\ \end{matrix}]\left[ \begin{matrix}    3 & 4 & 1  \\    3 & 2 & 3  \\    2 & 0 & 2  \\ \end{matrix} \right]=[\begin{matrix}    3 & 0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix}]\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[[\begin{matrix}    3p+3q+2r & 4p+2q & p+3q+2r  \\ \end{matrix}]\] \[=[\begin{matrix}    3 & 0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix}]\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[3p+3q+2r=3\]                                               ?(i) \[4p+2q=0\Rightarrow q=-2p\]                                  ?(ii) \[p+3q+2r=1\] On solving (i),(ii) and (iii), we get \[p=1,q=-2,r=3\] \[\therefore \]                  \[2p+q-r=2(1)+(-2)-(3)=-3.\]
