The determinant $\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\cos (\theta+\varphi) & -\sin (\theta+\varphi) & \cos 2 \varphi \\ \sin \theta & \cos \theta & \sin \varphi \\ -\cos \theta & \sin \theta & \cos \varphi\end{array}\right|$ is |
0 independent of $\theta$ independent of $\phi$ independent of both $\theta$ and $\phi$ |
independent of $\theta$ |
Apply $R_1 \rightarrow R_1+R_2 \sin \phi-R_3 \cos \phi$ Then taking $2 \cos \phi$ common from $R_1$ & then apply $R_1 \rightarrow R_1+R_3$ Then $\Delta=2 \cos \phi$ Hence (2) is the correct answer. |
