If \(\left[\begin{array}{rrr}1 & -1 & x \\ 1 & x & 1 \\ x & -1 & 1\end{array}\right]\) has no inverse, then the real value of \(x\) is

  1. A 2
  2. B 3
  3. C 0
  4. D 1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If matrix has no inverse it means the value of determinant should be zero. \(\therefore \quad\left|\begin{array}{rrr} 1 & -1 & x \\ 1 & x & 1 \\ x & -1 & 1 \end{array}\right|=0\) If we put \(x=1\), then column Ist and IIIrd are identical. Hence, option (d) is correct.
