MCQ
If $\left|\begin{array}{ll}2 & 4 \\ 5 & 1\end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{cc}2 x & 4 \\ 6 & x\end{array}\right|$, then the possible value(s) of ' $x$ ' is/are
  • A
    3
  • B
    $\sqrt{3}$
  • C
    $-\sqrt{3}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{3},-\sqrt{3}$

Answer

We have, $\left|\begin{array}{ll}2 & 4 \\ 5 & 1\end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{cc}2 x & 4 \\ 6 & x\end{array}\right|$
$\Rightarrow \quad 2-20=2 x^2-24 \Rightarrow 2 x^2=6 \Rightarrow x^2=3 \Rightarrow x= \pm \sqrt{3}$
