If the value of the determinant \(\begin{vmatrix} 5 & \rm k\\ 3 & 3 \end{vmatrix}\)is 24, find the value of k.1. 22. 33. -34. -4

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : -3

Concept:

If \({\rm{A}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{{\rm{a}}_{11}}}&{{{\rm{a}}_{12}}}\\ {{{\rm{a}}_{21}}}&{{{\rm{a}}_{22}}} \end{array}} \right]\) then determinant of A is given by:

|A| = a11 × a22 – a21 × a12

Calculation:

Let A = \(\begin{vmatrix} 5 & \rm k\\ 3 & 3 \end{vmatrix}\)

Given that, the value of the determinant is 24.

|A| = 24

⇒ 15 - 3k = 24

⇒15 - 24 = 3k

⇒ 3k = -9

∴ k = -3
