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

    A)  \[\frac{\sin 4\theta }{\sin \theta }\]                       

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

    C)         \[4{{\cos }^{2}}\theta (2cos\theta -1)\]

    D)         None of the above

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let \[\Delta =\left| \begin{matrix}    C & 1 & 0  \\    1 & C & 1  \\    6 & 1 & C  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=C({{C}^{2}}-1)-1(C-6)\] \[{{C}^{3}}-2C+6\] Put \[C=2\cos \theta ,\]we get                 \[\Delta ={{(2\cos \theta )}^{3}}-2(cos\theta )+6\]                 \[=8{{\cos }^{3}}\theta -4\cos \theta +6\]
