Let $\overline{OA} = \vec{a}$,$\overline{OB} = 10\vec{a} + 2\vec{b}$,and $\overline{OC} = \vec{b}$,where $O, A, C$ are non-collinear. Let $p$ be the area of the quadrilateral $OABC$ and $q$ be the area of the parallelogram with adjacent sides $OA$ and $OC$. Then $p/q = \dots$

  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
