The correct answer is: $(2,4,1,3)$
$3\left[\begin{array}{ll}x & y \\ z & t\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}x & 6 \\ -1 & 2 t\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{cc}4 & x+y \\ z+t & 3\end{array}\right]$
$\left[\begin{array}{cc}3 x & 3 y \\ 3 z & 3 t\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}x+4 & 6+x+y \\ -1+z+t & 2 t+3\end{array}\right]$
On compairing two matrices are equal iff their corresponding elements are equal


$\therefore(x, y, z, t)=(2,4,1,3)$
