If \(\operatorname{det}\left(\begin{array}{cc}2 x & 5 \\ 8 & x\end{array}\right)=\operatorname{det}\left(\begin{array}{cc}6 & -2 \\ 1 & 1\end{array}\right)\), then the value of \(x\) is

  1. A \(\pm 2 \sqrt{6}\)
  2. B \(\pm 6 \sqrt{2}\)
  3. C \(\pm \sqrt{6}\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{6}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\pm 2 \sqrt{6}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(2x(x) - 5(8) = 6(1) - (-2)(1)\) \(2x^2 - 40 = 6 + 2\) \(2x^2 - 40 = 8\) \(2x^2 = 48\) \(x^2 = 24\) \(x = \pm \sqrt{24}\) \(x = \pm 2\sqrt{6}\)
