Class 12 Maths · Determinants · Assertion Reason #22

Assertion: For A=\(\begin{bmatrix}5−x & x+1\\2 & 4\end{bmatrix}\), A is singular at x=3. Reason: A square matrix is singular if and only if its determinant is zero.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: Option (A): Both A and R are true, and R correctly explains A.
  1. det(A)=4(5−x)−2(x+1)=18−6x, which vanishes at x=3. The criterion explains the assertion.
