MCQ
Evaluate $\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}^2&\text{x}^3&\text{x}^4\\\text{x}&\text{y}&\text{z}\\\text{x}^2&\text{x}^3&\text{x}^4\end{bmatrix}$ is:
  • $c$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $\text{xyz}$
  • D
    $x^2 yz^3$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$c$
$\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}^2&\text{x}^3&\text{x}^4\\\text{x}&\text{y}&\text{z}\\\text{x}^2&\text{x}^3&\text{x}^4\end{bmatrix}$
If the elements of any two rows or columns are identical, then the value of determinant is zero.
Here, the elements of row $1$ and row $3$ are identical.
Hence, its determinant is $0.$
