    Let\[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & \sin \theta  & 1  \\    -\sin \theta  & 1 & \sin \theta   \\    -1 & -\sin \theta  & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\],   where\[0\le \theta \le 2\pi \]. Then, the range of\[\left| A \right|\]is

    A)  0

    B)  {2, 4}

    C)  [2, 4]

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\left| A \right|=\left| \begin{matrix}    1 & \sin \theta  & 1  \\    -\sin \theta  & 1 & \sin \theta   \\    -1 & -\sin \theta  & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\left| A \right|=2(1+{{\sin }^{2}}\theta )\] Now,\[0\le {{\sin }^{2}}\theta \le 1\]for all\[\theta \in [0,\,\,2\pi ]\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[2\le 2+2{{\sin }^{2}}\theta \le 4\]for all\[\theta \in [0,\,\,2\pi ]\]. \[\therefore \]The range of\[|A|\]is [2, 4].
