MCQ
If $\begin{vmatrix}2\text{x}&5\\8&\text{x}\end{vmatrix}=\begin{vmatrix}6&-2\\7&3\end{vmatrix},$ then x =
  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $\pm3$
  • $\pm6$
  • D
    $6$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\pm6$
$\begin{vmatrix}2\text{x}&5\\8&\text{x}\end{vmatrix}=\begin{vmatrix}6&-2\\7&3\end{vmatrix}$

$\Rightarrow2\text{x}^2-40=18+14$

$\Rightarrow2\text{x}^2-40=32$

$\Rightarrow2\text{x}^2=72$

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

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

Hence, the correct option is (C)
