MCQ
If the matrix $\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&3&{\lambda + 2}\\2&4&8\\3&5&{10}\end{array}} \right]$ is singular, then $\lambda = $
  • A
    $-2$
  • $4$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $-4$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$4$
b
(b) The matrix $\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&3&{\lambda + 2}\\2&4&8\\3&5&{10}\end{array}} \right]$ is singular,

If $\,\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&3&{\lambda + 2}\\2&4&8\\3&5&{10}\end{array}\,} \right| = 0$

==> $1(40 - 40) - 3(20 - 24) + (\lambda + 2)(10 - 12) = 0$

==> $2(\lambda + 2) = 12 \Rightarrow \lambda = 4.$
