Suppose the vectors x₁, x₂, and x₃ are the solutions of the system of linear equations, Ax = b when the vector b on the right side is equal to b₁, b₂ and b₃ respectively. If x₁ = [1; 1; 1], x₂ = [0; 2; 1], x₃ = [0; 0; 1], b₁ = [1; 0; 0], b₂ = [0; 2; 0] and b₃ = [0; 0; 2], then the determinant of A is equal to :

Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:

Let A =
| a? |
| b? |
| c? |

Ax? = B?
a? + a? + a? = 1
b? + b? + b? = 0
c? + c? + c? = 0
Similar 2a? + a? = 0 and a? = 0
2b? + b? = 2, b? = 0
2c? + c? = 0, c? = 2
∴ a? = 0, b? = 1, c? = -1,
a? = 1, b? = -1, c? = -1
A =
| 1 0 |
| -1 0 |
| -1 -1 2 |
∴ |A| = 2

8|A| = 27

Now |A| = α2–β2 = 24

α2 = 16 + β2

α2– β2 = 16

(α–β) (α+β) = 16

->α + β = 8 and

α – β = 2

->α = 5 and β = 3
