Marks: +1, -0
If α34121141=0\begin{vmatrix} \alpha & 3 & 4 \\ 1 & 2 & 1 \\ 1 & 4 & 1 \end{vmatrix}=0, then the value of α\alpha is:
Explanation:
[α34121141]=0\begin{bmatrix} \alpha & 3 & 4 \\ 1 & 2 & 1 \\ 1 & 4 & 1 \end{bmatrix}=0
α(24)3(11)+4(42)=0\Rightarrow \alpha(2-4)-3(1-1)+4(4-2)=0
2α+8=0-2\alpha+8=0
α=4\alpha=4
