Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 46

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \begin{vmatrix} 3 & -4 & 5 \\ 1 & 1 & -2 \\ 2 & 3 & 1 \end{vmatrix} = 3(1 \cdot 1 - (-2) \cdot 3) - (-4)(1 \cdot 1 - (-2) \cdot 2) + 5(1 \cdot 3 - 1 \cdot 2) \) \( = 3(1 + 6) + 4(1 + 4) + 5(3 - 2) \) \( = 3(7) + 4(5) + 5(1) \) \( = 21 + 20 + 5 \) \( = 46 \)
