MCQ
For which value of $x$, are the determinants $\left|\begin{array}{ll}2 x & -3 \\ 5 & x\end{array}\right|$ and $\left|\begin{array}{cc}10 & 1 \\ -3 & 2\end{array}\right|$ equal?
  • A
    $\pm 3$
  • B
    $-3$
  • $\pm 2$
  • D
    $2$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\pm 2$
Since, $\left|\begin{array}{cc}2 x & -3 \\ 5 & x\end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{ll}10 & 1 \\ -3 & 2\end{array}\right| $
$ \Rightarrow 2 x^2+15=20+3 $
$\Rightarrow 2 x^2=23-15=8$
$\Rightarrow x^2=4 $
$\Rightarrow x= \pm 2$
