Question

For a non-trivial solution |A| is
  1. |A|>0
  2. |A|<0
  3. |A|=0
  4. |A|0

A
|A|>0
B
|A|<0
C
|A|0
D
|A|=0
Solution
Verified by Toppr

An n×n homogeneous system of linear equations has a unique solution (the trivial solution) if and only if its determinant is non-zero. If this determinant is zero, then the system has an infinite number of solutions. i.e. For a non-trivial solution |A|=0.
