Let \(P=\left[a_{i j}\right]\) be a \(3 \times 3\) matrix and let \(Q=\left[b_{i j}\right]\) where \(b_{i j}=2^{i+j} a_{i j}, \forall 1 \leq i, j \leq 3\). If the determinant of \(P\) is 2 , then the determinant of \(Q\) is:

  1. A \(2^{13}\)
  2. B \(2^{12}\)
  3. C \(2^{11}\)
  4. D \(2^{10}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2^{13}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Q = \text{diag}(2^1, 2^2, 2^3) P \text{diag}(2^1, 2^2, 2^3)\) \(\det(Q) = \det(\text{diag}(2^1, 2^2, 2^3)) \det(P) \det(\text{diag}(2^1, 2^2, 2^3))\) \(\det(Q) = (2^1 \cdot 2^2 \cdot 2^3) \cdot 2 \cdot (2^1 \cdot 2^2 \cdot 2^3)\) \(\det(Q) = 2^6 \cdot 2^1 \cdot 2^6\)…
