Solution

The correct option is C 3
By observation,
On the left hand side,
each of Y,Z,Y1,Y2,Z1,Z2 contain an X term. On multiply any two functions we get a function of type X2
LHS is X(Y1Z2Z1Y2)X1(YZ2ZY2)+X2(YZ1ZY2)
Since each term is different from other,
it is clear that the determinant will be a function of X3
hence, n=3
