Let x ∈ R and let P = [ cases 1 & 1 & 1 0 & 2 & 2 0 & 0 & 3 cases...

Let x∈Rx \in R and let P=P =\left[{111022003\begin{cases}1 & 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 2 & 2 \\ 0 & 0 & 3\end{cases}\right], Q = \left[\begin{cases}2 & x & x \\ 0 & 4 & 0 \\ x & x & 6\end{cases}\right] and R=PQP−1.R = PQ{P}^{- 1} .
Then which of the following options is/are correct?

Options

  1. AFor x=1,x = 1, there exists a unit vector \alpha\overset{^}{i} + \beta\overset{^}{j} + \gamma\overset{^}{k} for which R\left[αβγ\begin{array}{ll}\alpha \\ \beta \\ \gamma\end{array}\right] = \left[000\begin{array}{ll}0 \\ 0 \\ 0\end{array}$\right]
  2. BThere exists a real number xx such that PQ=QPPQ = QP
  3. Cdet R = det \left[\begin{cases}2 & x & x \\ 0 & 4 & 0 \\ x & x & 5\end{cases}\right] + 8, for all x∈Rx \in R
  4. DFor x=0,x = 0, if RR\left[1ab\begin{array}{ll}1 \\ a \\ b\end{array}\right] = 6\left[1ab\begin{array}{ll}1 \\ a \\ b\end{array}\right],thenthena + b = 5

Correct answer

C. det R = det \left[\begin{cases}2 & x & x \\ 0 & 4 & 0 \\ x & x & 5\end{cases}\right] + 8, for all x∈Rx \in R
