If rank of \(\left(\begin{array}{ccc}x & x & x \\ x & x^2 & x \\ x & x & x+1\end{array}\right)\) is 1, then

  1. A \(x=0\) or \(x=1\)
  2. B \(x=1\)
  3. C \(x=0\)
  4. D \(x \neq 0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(x=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}x & x & x \\ x & x^2 & x \\ x & x & x+1\end{array}\right)\) Since, rank \(A=1\), therefore atleast one deteminant of order 1 should be non-zero and all the determinants of order 2 and 3 should be zero. If \(x=0\), then…
