Question
$\text{Let A}=\begin{bmatrix}1&\sin\theta&1\\-\sin\theta&1&\sin\theta\\-1&-\sin\theta&1\end{bmatrix},$ where $0\leq\theta\leq2\pi.$ Then
  1. Det (A) = 0
  2. Det (A) $\in$ (2, $\infty$)
  3. Det (A) $\in$ (2, 4)
  4. Det (A) $\in$ [2, 4]

Answer

$\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}1&\sin\theta&1\\-\sin\theta&1&\sin\theta\\-1&-\sin\theta&1\end{bmatrix}$
$\therefore|\text{A}|=1(1+\sin^2\theta)-\sin\theta(-\sin\theta+\sin\theta)+1(\sin^2\theta+1)$
$=1+\sin^2\theta+\sin^2\theta+1$
= 2 + 2 sin2 $\theta$
= 2 (1 + sin2$\theta$)
Now, $0\leq\theta\leq2\pi$
$\Rightarrow 0\leq\sin\theta\leq1$
$\Rightarrow 0\leq1+\sin^2\theta\leq2$
$\Rightarrow2\leq2(1+\sin^2\theta)\leq4$
$\therefore$ Det (A) $\in$ [2, 4]
The correct answer is d.
