If \(A\) is a square matrix of order 3 and \(\operatorname{det}(A)=1\). If \(B=2 A\) is another matrix, the value of \(\operatorname{det}(B)\) is:

  1. A 2
  2. B 4
  3. C 6
  4. D 8
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 8

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\operatorname{det}(kA) = k^n \operatorname{det}(A)\) \(\operatorname{det}(B) = \operatorname{det}(2A) = 2^3 \operatorname{det}(A)\) \(\operatorname{det}(B) = 8 \times 1\) \(\operatorname{det}(B) = 8\)
