MCQ
If $\displaystyle \begin{vmatrix} 2 &\text{amp;} -4 \\ 9 &\text{amp; d}-3 \end{vmatrix}=4$ then $\text{d}=$
  • A
    $10$
  • B
    $−11$
  • C
    $12$
  • $−13$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$−13$
Given, determinant of the matrix $ \displaystyle \begin{vmatrix} 2 &\text{amp;} -4 \\ 9 &\text{amp; d}-3 \end{vmatrix}=4$
$\Rightarrow2(\text{d}−3)−(9)(−4)=4$
$\Rightarrow2\text{d}-6+36 = 4$
$\Rightarrow 2\text{d}=-26$
$\Rightarrow\text{d} = -13$
