NDA Math Mock Test 02 – Question 36

Question:

The maximum value of \(\Delta = \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1+\sin\theta & 1 \\ 1+\cos\theta & 1 & 1 \end{vmatrix}\) is (\(\theta\) is real number).

\(\Delta = \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1+\sin\theta & 1 \\ 1+\cos\theta & 1 & 1 \end{vmatrix}\) का महत्तम मान क्या है? (\(\theta\) एक वास्तविक संख्या है)

Options:

  • \(\dfrac{2\sqrt{3}}{4}\)
  • \(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
  • \(\sqrt{2}\)
  • \(\dfrac{1}{2}\)
  • \(\dfrac{2\sqrt{3}}{4}\)
  • \(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
  • \(\sqrt{2}\)
  • \(\dfrac{1}{2}\)

Correct Answer: d)

Explanation:

Applying row operations \(R_2 \to R_2 – R_1\) and \(R_3 \to R_3 – R_1\):
\(\Delta = \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 0 & \sin\theta & 0 \\ \cos\theta & 0 & 0 \end{vmatrix} = 1(0) – 1(0) + 1(0 – \sin\theta\cos\theta) = -\sin\theta\cos\theta = -\dfrac{1}{2}\sin 2\theta\).
Maximum value occurs when \(\sin 2\theta = -1\), giving \(\Delta_{\max} = \dfrac{1}{2}\).

संक्रियाएँ \(R_2 \to R_2 – R_1\) तथा \(R_3 \to R_3 – R_1\) लगाने पर:
\(\Delta = -\sin\theta\cos\theta = -\dfrac{1}{2}\sin 2\theta\)।
इसका महत्तम मान \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) होगा।
