Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(16\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(|\mathrm{A}|=\mathrm{ad}-\mathrm{bc}=15\) where \(a, b, c, d \in\{\pm 3, \pm 2, \pm 1,0\}\) Case \(\mathrm{I} \mathrm{ad}=9 \,\& \,\mathrm{bc}=-6\) For ad possible pairs are \((3,3),(-3,-3)\) For bc possible pairs are \((3,-2),(-3,2),(-2,3),\left(2_{6}-3\right)\) So total…
