If \(A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\cos \theta & \sin \theta & 0 \\ -\sin \theta & \cos \theta & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1\end{array}\right]\),
where \(A_{21}, A_{22}, A_{23}\) are cofactors of \(a_{21}, a_{22}, a_{23}\) respectively, then the value of \(a_{21} A_{21}+a_{22} A_{22}+a_{23} A_{23}=\)

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(a_{21} A_{21}+a_{22} A_{22}+a_{23} A_{23} = \det(A)\) \(\det(A) = 0 \cdot (\text{cofactor}) + 0 \cdot (\text{cofactor}) + 1 \cdot \begin{vmatrix} \cos \theta & \sin \theta \\ -\sin \theta & \cos \theta \end{vmatrix}\)
