JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 3 and 4 . metrices and determinant

Let \(A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  2&b&1 \\ 
  b&{{b^2} + 1}&b \\ 
  1&b&2 
\end{array}} \right]\)  where \(b > 0\). Then the minimum value of \(\frac{{\det \left( A \right)}}{b}\) is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2\sqrt 3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Det \(A = {b^2} + 3\) \(\frac{{\det \,A}}{b} = b + \frac{3}{b}\) \(\therefore \) Least value \( = 2\sqrt 3 \)
