Relative to an origin O, the position vectors of three points A, B and C are given by

\(\overrightarrow{OA} = 3\mathbf{i} + p\mathbf{j} - 2p\mathbf{k}, \quad \overrightarrow{OB} = 6\mathbf{i} + (p + 4)\mathbf{j} + 3\mathbf{k} \quad \text{and} \quad \overrightarrow{OC} = (p - 1)\mathbf{i} + 2\mathbf{j} + q\mathbf{k},\)

where \(p\) and \(q\) are constants.

(i) In the case where \(p = 2\), use a scalar product to find angle \(AOB\). [4]

(ii) In the case where \(\overrightarrow{AB}\) is parallel to \(\overrightarrow{OC}\), find the values of \(p\) and \(q\). [4]
