Solution

The correct option is D 1,2
Determinant D=∣ ∣x1111x1111x1∣ ∣
Doing Column operation C1C1+C2,C3C3+C2
Determinant D=∣ ∣x12xx1x21x∣ ∣
Doing Column operation C1C1C3 and taking out (x2) D=(x2)∣ ∣1120x1x11x∣ ∣
Doing column operation C2C2+C1
D=(x2)∣ ∣1220x1x10x∣ ∣
By expanding the Determinant
D=(x2)[(x1)x(2x2(x1))]=(x2)[x2x2]
D=(x2)2(x+1)
Roots of the equation are x=2,1
