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

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(|Q|=\left|\begin{array}{lll}2^{2} a_{11} & 2^{3} a_{12} & 2^{4} a_{13} \\ 2^{3} a_{21} & 2^{4} a_{22} & 2^{5} a_{23} \\ 2^{4} a_{31} & 2^{5} a_{32} & 2^{6} a_{33}\end{array}\right|\)

\(=2^{2} \cdot 2^{3} \cdot 2^{4}\left|\begin{array}{ccc}a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} \\ 2 a_{21} & 2 a_{22} & 2 a_{23} \\ 2^{2} a_{31} & 2^{2} a_{32} & 2^{2} a_{33}\end{array}\right|\)

\(=2^{9} \cdot 2 \cdot 2^{2}\left|\begin{array}{lll}a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} & a_{23} \\ a_{31} & a_{32} & a_{33}\end{array}\right|\)

\(=2^{12} \times|P|=2^{12} \times 2=2^{13}\)
