If \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}-1 & 1 & 0 \\ a & b & 1 \\ 1 & 2 & 1\end{array}\right|\) is a singular matrix, then the relation between a and b is:
- A 2a = b
- B a + b = 0
- C a + b = 3
- D a + b = ab
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) a + b = 3
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\( -1(b \cdot 1 - 1 \cdot 2) - 1(a \cdot 1 - 1 \cdot 1) + 0(a \cdot 2 - b \cdot 1) = 0 \) \( -b + 2 - a + 1 = 0 \) \( a + b = 3 \)
