$${if}\:{u}+{v}\:\geqslant\:\mathrm{2}\:\Rightarrow\:{p}\:\geqslant\:\mathrm{2} \\ $$$${u}×{v}\:\geqslant\:\mathrm{1}\:\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{14}{p}−\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{6}}\:\geqslant\:\mathrm{1}\:\Rightarrow{p}\:\geqslant\:\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{7}} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{1}\right)\wedge\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\:\Rightarrow\:{p}\:\geqslant\:\mathrm{2} \\ $$
