  • question_answer
    Consider \[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    a & 2 & 1  \\    0 & b & 0  \\    0 & -3 & c  \\ \end{matrix} \right],\] where a, b and c are the roots of the equation \[{{x}^{3}}-3{{x}^{2}}+2x-1=0\]. If matrix B is such that \[AB=BA,\] \[|A+B-2I|\ne 0\] and \[{{A}^{2}}-{{B}^{2}}=4I-4B,\] then the value of det.  is

    A) \[16\]    

    B)                    \[25\]         

    C) \[27\]                   

    D)        \[36\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

      [b] \[|A|\,=\left| \begin{matrix}    a & 2 & 1  \\    0 & b & 0  \\    0 & -3 & c  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=abc=1\] Also, \[{{x}^{3}}-3{{x}^{2}}+2x-1=(x-a)(x-b)(x-c)\] ?(1) Now,   \[{{A}^{2}}-{{B}^{2}}=4I-4B\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{A}^{2}}-({{B}^{2}}-4B+4I)=O\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{A}^{2}}-{{(B-2I)}^{2}}=O\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,(A+B-2I)\,\,(A-B+2I)=O\] \[\because \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,A+B-2I\ne O,\,\,\,\,\therefore A-B+2I=O\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,B=A+2I=\left| \begin{matrix}    a+2 & 2 & 1  \\    0 & b+2 & 0  \\    0 & -3 & c+2  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\left| B \right|=(a+2)\,\,(b+2)\,(c+2)\]         ?.(2) Putting \[x=-2\] into (1), we get \[-8-12-4-1=(-2-a)\,(-2-b)(-2-c)\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,25=(a+2)\,(b+2)\,(c+2)\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\left| B \right|=25\]
