  3. C \(t=-1\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{t}=-2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{t}=-2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint: \(|\mathrm{A}|=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}3-\mathrm{t} & 1 & 0 \\ -1 & 3-\mathrm{t} & 1 \\ 0 & -1 & 0\end{array}\right|=3-\mathrm{t}=5, \mathrm{t}=-2\)
