Given that the value of a determinant of order three is zero; which one of the following is not correct?
- A The elements of any two rows are proportional
- B The elements of any two columns are proportional
- C The elements of the diagonal are all non-zero and all other elements are zero
- D The elements of second row are average of elements of first and second row
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) The elements of the diagonal are all non-zero and all other elements are zero
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
If a matrix has non-zero diagonal elements and all other elements are zero (a diagonal matrix), its determinant is the product of the diagonal elements, which would be non-zero. Options A, B, and D all describe conditions of linear dependence between rows or columns, which…

Bacteria called lactic acid bacteria (LAB) grow in milk to convert it into curd. The dough, which is used to make bread, is fermented by yeast called Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Microbes are used to produce industrial products like lactic acid, acetic acid and alcohol, which are used in a variety of processes in the industry. However, certain bacteria, which grow anaerobically on cellulosic material, produce large amount of methane along with CO2 and H2. These bacteria are collectively called methanogens, and one such common bacterium is Methanobacterium. These bacteria are commonly found in the anaerobic sludge during sewage treatment. Microbes are also used for commercial and industrial production of certain chemicals like organic acids, alcohols and enzymes.
Examples of acid producers are Aspergillus niger (a fungus) of citric acid. You are familiar with the commonly used antibiotic Penicillin. Do you know that Penicillin was the first antibiotic to be discovered, and it was a chance discovery?
