Question

If `|{:(.^(9)C_(4),.^(9)C_(5),.^(10)C_(r)),(.^(10)C_(6 ),.^(10)C_(7),.^(11)C_(r+2)),(.^(11)C_(8),.^(11)C_(9),.^(12)C_(r+4)):}|=0` , then the value of `r` is equal to
A. `3`
B. `4`
C. `5`
D. `6`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - C
`(c )` Given `|{:(.^(9)C_(4),.^(9)C_(5),.^(10)C_(r)),(.^(10)C_(6 ),.^(10)C_(7),.^(11)C_(r+2)),(.^(11)C_(8),.^(11)C_(9),.^(12)C_(r+4)):}|=0`
Apply `C_(2)toC_(1)+C_(2)`
`|{:(.^(9)C_(4),.^(9)C_(5),.^(10)C_(r)),(.^(10)C_(6 ),.^(10)C_(7),.^(11)C_(r+2)),(.^(11)C_(8),.^(11)C_(9),.^(12)C_(r+4)):}|=0`
Value of the determinant `=0`
`implies` Column `2` is same as column `3`
`impliesr=5`
