If \(\begin{vmatrix} 2 & 3 & 2 \\ x & x & x \\ 4 & 9 & 1 \end{vmatrix} + 3 = 0\) then the value of x is:

  1. A 1
  2. B -1
  3. C \(0\)
  4. D 3
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) -1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Factor \(x\) from \(R_2\): \(x \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 3 & 2 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 4 & 9 & 1 \end{vmatrix}\) Determinant calculation: \(x [2(1 \cdot 1 - 1 \cdot 9) - 3(1 \cdot 1 - 1 \cdot 4) + 2(1 \cdot 9 - 1 \cdot 4)]\) \(= x [2(1-9) - 3(1-4) + 2(9-4)]\) \(= x [2(-8) - 3(-3) + 2(5)]\)…
