3 and 4 .Determinants and Matrices
easy
The values of $x $ in the following determinant equation, $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{a + x}&{a - x}&{a - x}\\{a - x}&{a + x}&{a - x}\\{a - x}&{a - x}&{a + x}\end{array}\,} \right| = 0$ are
A
$x = 0,x = 4a$
B
$x = 0,x = a$
C
$x = 0,x = 2a$
D
$x = 0,x = 3a$
Solution
(d) Trick: Putting $x = 0$ and $x = 3a,$ the value of determinant becomes zero.
