Solution

The correct option is B 2x
Here the second matrix is the transpose of the first matrix. When we take determinant of transpose of a matrix it comes out to be the same as the original determinant. This is one of the properties of determinants. So in short both the first determinant and the second determinant are equal to each other.

Hence, if ∣ ∣a1b1c1a2b2c2a3b3c3∣ ∣=x,
then
∣ ∣a1b1c1a2b2c2a3b3c3∣ ∣ + ∣ ∣a1a2a3b1b2b3c1c2c3∣ ∣=2x
