Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1 / 3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(|A|=\left|\begin{array}{lll}x & 2 & 1 \\ 2 & x & 1 \\ 2 & 1 & 0\end{array}\right|=x(0-1)-2(0-2)+1(2-2 x)\) \(=6-3 x\) According to question, \(\left|A^3\right|=125\) \(\Rightarrow \quad|A|^3=5^3 \quad\left[\because\left|A^3\right|=|A|^3\right]\)…
