    If \[\left| \begin{matrix}    x-4 & 2x & 2x  \\    2x & x-4 & 2x  \\    2x & 2x & x-4  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=(A+Bx){{(x-A)}^{2}}\], then the ordered pair (A, B) is equal to: [JEE Main Online 08-04-2018]

    A)  \[(-4,5)\]                     

    B)  \[(4,5)\]

    C)  \[(-4,-5)\]                    

    D)  \[(-4,3)\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

      \[\left| \begin{matrix}    x-4 & 2x & 2x  \\    2x & x-4 & 2x  \\    2x & 2x & x-4  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] \[{{\text{R}}_{\text{1}}}\to {{\text{R}}_{\text{1}}}\text{+}{{\text{R}}_{\text{2}}}\text{+}{{\text{R}}_{\text{3}}}\] \[\left| \begin{matrix}    5x-4 & 5x-4 & 5x-4  \\    2x & x-4 & 2x  \\    2x & 2x & x-4  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] \[(5x-4)\left| \begin{matrix}    1 & 1 & 1  \\    2x & x-4 & 2x  \\    2x & 2x & x-4  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] \[{{C}_{1}}\to {{C}_{1}}-{{C}_{2}},{{C}_{2}}\to {{C}_{2}}-{{C}_{3}}\] \[(5x-4)\left| \begin{matrix}    0 & 0 & 0  \\    x+4 & -x-4 & 2x  \\    0 & x+4 & x-4  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] \[={{(x+4)}^{2}}(5x-4)=(A+Bx){{(x-A)}^{2}}\] \[A=-4,B=5\Rightarrow (-4,5)\]
