Let the numbers \(2, b, c\) be in an \(A.P\) and \(A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  1&1&1 \\ 
  2&b&c \\ 
  4&{{b^2}}&{{c^2}} 
\end{array}} \right]\). If \(det(A) \in [2,16]\) then \(c\) lies in the interval

  1. A \([3,2 + 2^{2/4} ]\)
  2. B \((2 + 2^{3/4},4)\)
  3. C \((2,3)\)

(D) \([4, 6]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&1&1\\ 2&b&c\\ 4&{{b^2}}&{{c^2}} \end{array}} \right|\) \({C_2} \to {C_2} - {C_1},{C_3} \to {C_3} - {C_1}\) \( \Rightarrow \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&0&0\\ 2&{b - 2}&{c - 2}\\ 4&{{b^2} - 4}&{{c^2} - 4} \end{array}} \right|\)…
