The maximum value of the determinant of the matrix \(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1+\sin x & 1 \\ 1+\cos x & 1 & 1\end{array}\right]\)
(where \(x\) is real) is :

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \text{Let } D = \left| \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1+\sin x & 1 \\ 1+\cos x & 1 & 1 \end{array} \right| \) \( C_2 \to C_2 - C_1, C_3 \to C_3 - C_1 \) \( D = \left| \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & \sin x & 0 \\ 1+\cos x & -\cos x & -\cos x \end{array} \right| \)…
