The sum of the minor and the cofactor of the element 6 in the determinant \(\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{lll}2 & 3 & 1 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \\ 7 & 8 & 9\end{array}\right|\) is:
- A \(-5\)
- B \(-10\)
- C 10
- D \(0\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(0\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Element 6 is at position \( (2,3) \). Sum of indices \( = 2+3=5 \) (odd). \( C_{23} = -M_{23} \). Sum \( = M_{23} + C_{23} = M_{23} - M_{23} = 0 \).
