Question
Find the values of $x$ for which $\left|\begin{array}{ll}3 & x \\ x & 1\end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{ll}3 & 2 \\ 4 & 1\end{array}\right|$.

Answer

(d) : We have, $\left|\begin{array}{ll}3 & x \\ x & 1\end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{ll}3 & 2 \\ 4 & 1\end{array}\right|$
$
\Rightarrow \quad 3-x^2=3-8 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x^2=8 \text {. Hence, } x= \pm 2 \sqrt{2}
