    If \[C=2cos\theta ,\] then the value of the determinant\[\Delta =\left[ \begin{matrix}    C & 1 & 0  \\    1 & C & 1  \\    6 & 1 & C  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] is

    A) \[\frac{2{{\sin }^{2}}2\theta }{\sin \theta }\]      

    B)        \[8{{\cos }^{3}}\theta -4\cos \theta +6\]

    C) \[\frac{2\sin 2\theta }{\sin \theta }\]

    D) \[8{{\cos }^{3}}\theta +4\cos \theta +6\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Given that, \[\Delta =\left[ \begin{matrix}    C & 1 & 0  \\    1 & C & 1  \\    6 & 1 & C  \\ \end{matrix} \right]=C({{C}^{2}}-1)-1(C-6)\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\Delta =2\cos \theta (4{{\cos }^{2}}\theta -1)-(2\cos \theta -6)\]                                     \[(\because \,\,\,\,C=2\cos \theta \,\,given)\] \[=8{{\cos }^{3}}\theta -4\cos \theta +6\]
