Solution

The correct option is A 64
Let A=R11R12R13R21R22R23R31R32R33

2A=2R112R122R132R212R222R232R312R322R33

Now, R22R2+5R3
So,B=2R112R122R134R21+10R314R22+10R324R23+10R332R312R322R33

|B|=∣ ∣2R112R122R134R21+10R314R22+10R324R23+10R332R312R322R33∣ ∣

R2R25R3

|B|=∣ ∣2R112R122R134R214R224R232R312R322R33∣ ∣

|B|=2×2×4∣ ∣R11R12R13R21R22R23R31R32R33∣ ∣
=16×4
=64
