If each element, of a determinant of third order with value $A$, is multiplied by 3 , then the value of newly formed determinant is
  1. 3A
  2. 9A
  3. 27A
  4. -27A

Solution

Since, we know that, if $P$ is any matrix of order n. Then, $|K P|=K^n|P|$, where $K$ is constant. Given $|P|=A$, where $P$ is of order 3 . $ \therefore \quad|3 P|=3^3|P|=27 A $
