If then is equal to :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D: $-4-2\SQRT3$
- Write the determinant
We need
Let Then the determinant becomes
- Evaluate the determinant
Expanding along the first row,
Now,
so the second term is
Also,
so the third term is
Hence
Condition gives
- Solve on
In , the solutions are
So
- Compute the required sum
We need
Since tangent has period ,
Thus both terms are equal, so
Now,
Rationalizing,
Therefore,
- Compare with options
This matches which is Option D.
- Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer is C: , but our computed sum is So the stored answer appears to be incorrect.
