Let $A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  2&b&1 \\ 
  b&{{b^2} + 1}&b \\ 
  1&b&2 
\end{array}} \right]$  where $b > 0$. Then the minimum value of $\frac{{\det \left( A \right)}}{b}$ is

A

$2\sqrt 3$

B

$-2\sqrt 3$

C

$-\sqrt 3$

D

$\sqrt 3$

(JEE MAIN-2019)

Solution

Det $A = {b^2} + 3$

$\frac{{\det \,A}}{b} = b + \frac{3}{b}$

$\therefore $ Least value $ = 2\sqrt 3 $
