If [ array rrr 1 & -1 & x 1 & x & 1 x & -1 & 1 array ] has no inverse, then the real value of x is
Options
- A2
- B3
- C0
- D1
Correct answer
D. 1
Step-by-step solution
If matrix has no inverse it means the value of determinant should be zero. | array rrr 1 & -1 & x 1 & x & 1 x & -1 & 1 array |=0 If we put x=1 , then column Ist and IIIrd are identical. Hence, option (d) is correct.
