If \(x, y, z\) are in arithmetic progression with common difference \(d , x \neq 3 d ,\) and the
determinant of the matrix \(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3 & 4 \sqrt{2} & x \\ 4 & 5 \sqrt{2} & y \\ 5 & k & z\end{array}\right]\) is zero, then the value of \(k ^{2}\) is ..... .

  1. A \(72\)
  2. B \(12\)
  3. C \(36\)
  4. D \(6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(72\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}3 & 4 \sqrt{2} & x \\ 4 & 5 \sqrt{2} & y \\ 5 & k & z\end{array}\right|=0\) \(R _{2} \rightarrow R _{1}+ R _{3}-2 R _{2}\) \(\Rightarrow\left|\begin{array}{ccc}3 & 4 \sqrt{2} & x \\ 0 & k-6 \sqrt{2} & 0 \\ 5 & k & z\end{array}\right|=0\)…
