If ${\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}4&1\\2&1\end{array}\,} \right|^2} = \left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}3&2\\1&x\end{array}\,} \right| - \left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}x&3\\{ - 2}&1\end{array}\,} \right|$, then $ x =$
  • A
    $-14$
  • B
    $2$
  • $6$
  • D
    $7$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$6$
c
(c) $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}4&1\\2&1\end{array}\,} \right|\,\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}4&1\\2&1\end{array}\,} \right| = \left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}3&2\\1&x\end{array}\,} \right| - \left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}x&3\\{ - 2}&1\end{array}\,} \right|$

$ = \left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{17}&9\\9&5\end{array}\,} \right| = (3x - 2) - (x + 6)$

==> $85 - 81 = 2x - 8$

==> $4 + 8 = 2x$

==> $x = 6$.
