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(Y1Z2−Z1Y2)−X1(YZ2−ZY2)+X2(YZ1−ZY2) Since each term is different from other, it is clear that the determinant will be a function of X3 hence, n=3
