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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

determinant \(M_{23} = \left|\begin{array}{cc}2 & 3 \\ -1 & -2\end{array}\right| = (2)(-2) - (3)(-1) = -4 + 3 = -1\) \(C_{23} = (-1)^{2+3} M_{23} = (-1)^5 (-1) = 1\)
