Question
If $\left|\begin{array}{ll}3 a +2 b & 2 a - b \\ 4 p -3 q & 2 p + q \end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{cc}12 & 1 \\ 16 & 8\end{array}\right|$, find the values of $a , b , p$ and $q.$

Answer

$\begin{array}{l}\left|\begin{array}{ll}3 a+2 b & 2 a-b \\ 4 p-3 q & 2 p+q\end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{ll}12 & 1 \\ 16 & 8\end{array}\right| \end{array}$
$3 a+2 b=12 ........(1)$
$2 a-b=1 ......(2)$
$b=2 a-1$
$4 p-3 q=16 .......(3)$
$2 p+q=8......(4)$
putting the value of $b$ in $(1)$
$3 a+4 a-2=12$
$7 a=14$
$a=2$
from $(2)$
$4-b=1$
$b=3$
putting the value of $q$ in $(3)$
$4 p-24+6 p=16$
$10 p=40$
$p=4$
from$(4)$
$8+q=8$
$q=0$
