MCQ
The roots of the determinant equation (in $x$) $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}a&a&x\\m&m&m\\b&x&b\end{array}\,} \right| = 0$
  • $x = a,b$
  • B
    $x = - a, - b$
  • C
    $x = - a,b$
  • D
    $x = a, - b$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$x = a,b$
a
(a) Obviously, the determinant is satisfied for $x = a,b$.
