Q. Let $A = \left| \begin{matrix} 1 & \sin\theta & 1 \\ - sin\theta & 1 & \sin\theta \\ - 1 & - sin\theta & 1 \end{matrix} \right|,\$where $0 \leq \theta \leq 2\pi$, then the range of o$|A|$ is

A) (2, 4)
B) [2, 4]
C) [2, 4)
D) All of these
Explanation

(d)
$A = \left| \begin{matrix}
1 & \sin\theta & 1 \\
- sin\theta & 1 & \sin\theta \\
- 1 & - sin\theta & 1
\end{matrix} \right|$
$= 1(1 + \sin^{2}{\theta) -}\sin{\theta( -}\sin{\theta + \sin{\theta) + 1(}}\sin^{2}{\theta + 1)}$
$= 2(1 + \sin^{2}{\theta)}$
Since, the maximum and minimum value of $\sin^{2}\theta$ is 1 and 0.
$\therefore|A| \in \lbrack 2,4\rbrack$
