The sum of the real roots of the equation \(\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
x&{ - 6}&{ - 1}\\
2&{ - 3x}&{x - 3}\\
{ - 3}&{2x}&{x = 2}
\end{array}} \right| = 0\) is equal to

  1. A \(-4\)
  2. B \(0\)
  3. C \(6\)
  4. D \(1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

By expansion, we get \( - 5{x^3} + 30x - 30 + 5x = 0\) \( \Rightarrow - 5{x^3} + 35x - 30 = 0\) \( \Rightarrow {x^3} - 7x + 6 = 0\), All roots srea real So, sum of roots \(=0\)
