MCQ
Choose the correct answer from given four options in each of the Exercise:
If $\begin{vmatrix}2\text{x}&5\\8&\text{x}\end{vmatrix}=\begin{vmatrix}6&-2\\7&3\end{vmatrix},$ then value of x is:
  • A
    3
  • B
    ±3
  • ±6
  • D
    6

Answer

Correct option: C.
±6
We have, $\begin{vmatrix}2\text{x}&5\\8&\text{x}\end{vmatrix}=\begin{vmatrix}6&-2\\7&3\end{vmatrix}$

$\Rightarrow\ 2\text{x}^2-40=18+17$

$\Rightarrow\ 2\text{x}^2=32+40$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}^2=\frac{72}{2}=36$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}^2=36$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}=\pm6$
