MCQ
If ${\Delta _1} = \left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}x&b&b\\a&x&b\\a&a&x\end{array}\,} \right|$ and ${\Delta _2} = \left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}x&b\\a&x\end{array}\,} \right|$ are the given determinants, then
  • A
    ${\Delta _1} = 3{({\Delta _2})^2}$
  • $\frac{d}{{dx}}({\Delta _1}) = 3{\Delta _2}$
  • C
    $\frac{d}{{dx}}({\Delta _1}) = 2{({\Delta _2})^2}$
  • D
    ${\Delta _1} = 3\Delta _2^{3/2}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{d}{{dx}}({\Delta _1}) = 3{\Delta _2}$
b
(b) ${\Delta _1} = \left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}x&b&b\\a&x&b\\a&a&x\end{array}\,} \right| = {x^3} - 3abx$ ==> $\frac{d}{{dx}}{\Delta _1} = 3\,({x^2} - ab)$

and ${\Delta _2} = \left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}x&b\\a&x\end{array}\,} \right| = {x^2} - ab$ ==> $\frac{d}{{dx}}\,({\Delta _1}) = 3\,({x^2} - ab) = 3{\Delta _2}$.
