(a) Δ1+Δ2=2(x3+x1)

(b) Δ1Δ2=2x3

(c) Δ1+Δ2=2x3

(d) Δ1Δ2=x(cos2θcos4θ)

Answer:

Correct Answer: 3. (c)

Solution:

  1. Given determinants are

Δ1=|xsinθcosθsinθx1cosθ1x|

=x3+sinθcosθsinθcosθ+xcos2θx+xsin2θ=x3 and Δ2=|xsin2θcos2θsin2θx1cos2θ1x|,x0=x3( similarly as Δ1)

So, according to options, we get Δ1+Δ2=2x3
