It makes mutation or it will get repaired by our repairing enzymes.

It can, but it shouldn't. Normally adenine binds to thymine or uracil; guanine binds with cytosine. In the cases of mutations of DNA, the nitrogen bases can be mismatched. They can be fixed by "proofreading" enzymes or by nucleases.

It won't be possible. The two purines cannot fit together in DNA. However, if by defying the natural laws inhibited by the DNA structure and adenine somehow binds with guanine, the resulting DNA would be very irregular in size as some parts are thicker than the other due to the two purine combination.

They wouldn't pair. Thymine only pairs with adenine and guanine only pairs with cytosine.
