Solution

To factorize the given polynomial 2p^2 - 11pq + 24q^2, we need to find two numbers that multiply to (2*24=48) and add up to -11.

Those numbers are -8 and -6.

So, we can rewrite the middle term of the polynomial as -8pq - 6pq.

Now, the polynomial becomes 2p^2 - 8pq - 6pq + 24q^2.

We can factor by grouping:

2p(p - 4q) - 6q(p - 4q)

Now, we can factor out the common binomial term (p - 4q):

(2p - 6q)(p - 4q)

So, the correct factorization of the polynomial is (2p - 6q)(p - 4q), but this option is not given in the choices. Therefore, the given options do not include the correct factorization of the polynomial.
