    The value of the determinant \[\left| \,\begin{matrix}    4 & -6 & 1  \\    -1 & -1 & 1  \\    -4 & 11 & -1\,  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\]is  [RPET 1992]

    A) - 75

    B) 25

    C) 0

    D) - 25

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\left| \,\begin{matrix}    4 & -6 & 1  \\    -1 & -1 & 1  \\    -4 & 11 & -1  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right|=\left| \,\begin{matrix}    0 & 5 & 0  \\    -1 & -1 & 1  \\    -4 & 11 & -1  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right|\]\[\{\text{Apply }{{R}_{\text{1}}}\to {{R}_{1}}+{{R}_{3}}\}\] = \[-5\,(1+4)=-25\].
