If \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}x-2 & 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 2 x & 1 \\ -1 & 1 & 1\end{array}\right|=3\) then the values of x are:
- A 1,2
- B 1,1
- C \(1,-\frac{1}{2}\)
- D 2, 1
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(1,-\frac{1}{2}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\( (x-2)(2x-1) - 1(1-(-1)) + 2(1-(-2x)) = 3 \) \( (x-2)(2x-1) - 2 + 2(1+2x) = 3 \) \( 2x^2 - x - 4x + 2 - 2 + 2 + 4x = 3 \) \( 2x^2 - x + 2 = 3 \) \( 2x^2 - x - 1 = 0 \) \( (2x+1)(x-1) = 0 \) \( x = 1, -\frac{1}{2} \)

\(G = \frac{\kappa A}{l}\)=k (both \(A\) and \(l\) are unity in their appropriate units in m or cm)
Molar conductivity of a solution at a given concentration is the conductance of the volume \(V\) of solution containing one mole of electrolyte kept between two electrodes with area of cross section \(A\) and distance of unit length (\(l\)). Therefore,
\(\Lambda_m = \frac{\kappa A}{l}\)
Since \(l = 1\) and \(A = V\) (volume containing 1 mole of electrolyte),
\(\Lambda_m = \kappa V\)
If the length \(l\) in the column of an electrolytic cell is halved and its area of cross-section is tripled, then conductance (\(G\)) would become:"CUET 2023 Hard - The electric potential due to an electric dipole
