Detailed Solution

f(x)=2x39ax2+12a2x+1
 f(x)=6x218ax+12a2 and f′′(x)=12x18a
For maximum/minimum, 6x218ax+12a2=0
or   x23ax+2a2=0
or   (xa)(x2a)=0
i.e., x=a or x=2a 
Now, f′′(a)=12a18a=6a<0
and f′′(2a)=24a18a=6a>0
Therefore, fx is maximum at x=a and minimum at x=2a
Thus, p=a and q=2a
Given that p2=q or a2=2a or a(a2)=0 or a=2.
