Question:

If $det. (A-B) ≠0, A^4=B^4, C^3A=C^3B$ and $B^3A = A^3B$, then find the value of $det. (A^3+ B^3 + C^3)$.

Options:

0

1

2

3

Correct Answer:

0

Explanation:

$(A^3+ B^3 + C^3)(A-B)$

$=A^4-A^3B+B^3A-B^4+C^3A-C^3B=O$

$∴det.((A^3+ B^3 + C^3)(A-B))=0$

$⇒det.(A^3+ B^3 + C^3)=0$ as $det.(A-B)≠0$
