    Cofactors of the elements of second row of the determinant \[\left| \begin{matrix}    2 & -1 & 4  \\    4 & 2 & -3  \\    1 & 1 & 2  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\]are

    A)  5, 1, 8           

    B)  6, 0, -3

    C)  5, 6, 4           

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Given\[\Delta =\left| \begin{matrix}    2 & -1 & 4  \\    4 & 2 & -3  \\    1 & 1 & 2  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] Cofactors of the elements of second row of the given determinant. \[{{a}_{21}}=-\left| \begin{matrix}    -1 & 4  \\    1 & 2  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=-(-2-4)=6\] \[{{a}_{22}}=\left| \begin{matrix}    2 & 4  \\    1 & 2  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=4-4=0\] \[{{a}_{23}}=-\left| \begin{matrix}    2 & -1  \\    1 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=-(2+1)=-3\]
