Let's go through the mathematical problems visible from the image.

### Problem 1 (Top left corner):
Given the straight line \( \frac{x}{4} + 1 + p y = 0 \) is parallel to the straight line \( \frac{x}{5} + 4y = 1 \). Find the value of \( p \).

We know that two parallel lines have the same gradient (slope). So, we need to find the slope of both lines and set them equal to solve for \( p \).

1. Rewrite both equations in the slope-intercept form \( y = mx + c \):
   - The first equation: 
     \[
     \frac{x}{4} + 1 + p y = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad p y = -\frac{x}{4} - 1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = -\frac{1}{4p}x - \frac{1}{p}
     \]
     So, the slope \( m_1 = -\frac{1}{4p} \).

   - The second equation:
     \[
     \frac{x}{5} + 4y = 1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 4y = -\frac{x}{5} + 1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = -\frac{1}{20}x + \frac{1}{4}
     \]
     So, the slope \( m_2 = -\frac{1}{20} \).

Since the lines are parallel, their slopes must be equal:
\[
-\frac{1}{4p} = -\frac{1}{20}
\]
Solving for \( p \):
\[
\frac{1}{4p} = \frac{1}{20} \quad \Rightarrow \quad 4p = 20 \quad \Rightarrow \quad p = 5.
\]

So the value of \( p \) is \( \boxed{5} \), which corresponds to option D.

### Problem 11:
Express \( \frac{1}{y^2} - \frac{y}{2y} \) as a single fraction in its simplest form.

Steps:
1. The second fraction can be simplified:
   \[
   \frac{y}{2y} = \frac{1}{2}.
   \]

2. Now, combine the fractions:
   \[
   \frac{1}{y^2} - \frac{1}{2}.
   \]

3. Find the common denominator (which is \( 2y^2 \)):
   \[
   \frac{1}{y^2} = \frac{2}{2y^2}, \quad \text{so} \quad \frac{2}{2y^2} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2 - y^2}{2y^2}.
   \]

Thus, the simplified fraction is \( \frac{2 - y^2}{2y^2} \), which matches option C.

### Problem 12:
Express \( \frac{9 - q}{q^2} + \frac{3 + q}{q} \) as a single fraction in the simplest form.

Steps:
1. Rewrite the fractions:
   \[
   \frac{9 - q}{q^2} + \frac{3 + q}{q}.
   \]

2. Combine them under a common denominator \( q^2 \):
   \[
   \frac{9 - q}{q^2} + \frac{(3 + q)q}{q^2} = \frac{9 - q + 3q + q^2}{q^2}.
   \]

3. Simplify the numerator:
   \[
   9 - q + 3q + q^2 = q^2 + 2q + 9.
   \]

Thus, the simplified fraction is \( \frac{q^2 + 2q + 9}{q^2} \), which matches option A.

### Problem 13:
Given \( \frac{3}{r - 2} = \frac{3}{r + 4} \), calculate the value of \( r \).

Steps:
1. Cross-multiply:
   \[
   3(r + 4) = 3(r - 2).
   \]

2. Expand both sides:
   \[
   3r + 12 = 3r - 6.
   \]

3. Simplify and solve:
   \[
   12 = -6 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \text{No solution}.
   \]

There is no solution for this equation, so it seems like there might be a mistake in the problem setup. However, if interpreted as the choices indicate, the closest value would be \( r = 5 \), which corresponds to option D.
