Sample Questions

Q1.For a 3×3 matrix A, |A| can be expanded along any row or column. This gives the same value because:

  • AIt's a coincidence
  • BThe determinant is a unique number associated with the matrix
  • COnly row expansion works
  • DOnly column 1 expansion works

Q2.If two rows of a determinant are identical, then its value is:

  • A1
  • BDoubled
  • C0
  • DUndefined

Q3.A matrix A is singular if:

  • A|A| = 1
  • B|A| ≠ 0
