Options
- A3
- B5
- C7
- D9
Correct answer
C. 7
Step-by-step solution
Let a matrix = [ array lll 2 & 2 & 1 1 & 3 & 1 1 & 2 & 2 array ]-x [ array lll 1 & 0 & 0 0 & 1 & 0 0 & 0 & 1 array ]= [ array ccc 2-x & 2 & 1 1 & 3-x & 1 1 & 2 & 2-x array ] Matrix A is a singular. |A|=0 | array ccc 2-x & 2 & 1 1 & 3-x & 1 1 & 2 & 2-x array |=0 On applying C₁ C₁+C₂+C₃ , we get aligned & | array ccc 5-x & 2 & 1 5-x & 3-x & 1 5-x & 2 & 2-x array |=0 & (5-x) | array ccc 1 & 2 & 1 1 & 3-x & 1 1 & 2 & 2-x array |=0 aligned On applying R₂ R₂-1 and R₃ R₃-R₁ , we get aligned (5-x) | array ccc 1 & 2 & 1 0 &
