Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2020

Let m and M be respectively the minimum and maximum values of

$$\left| {\matrix{ {{{\cos }^2}x} & {1 + {{\sin }^2}x} & {\sin 2x} \cr {1 + {{\cos }^2}x} & {{{\sin }^2}x} & {\sin 2x} \cr {{{\cos }^2}x} & {{{\sin }^2}x} & {1 + \sin 2x} \cr } } \right|$$

Then the ordered pair (m, M) is equal to :

  1. A (–3, –1) Correct answer
  2. B (–4, –1)
  3. C (1, 3)
  4. D (–3, 3)

Solution

$$\left| {\matrix{ {{{\cos }^2}x} &amp; {1 + {{\sin }^2}x} &amp; {\sin 2x} \cr {1 + {{\cos }^2}x} &amp; {{{\sin }^2}x} &amp; {\sin 2x} \cr {{{\cos }^2}x} &amp; {{{\sin }^2}x} &amp; {1 + \sin 2x} \cr } } \right|$$ <br><br>R<sub>1</sub> $\to$ R<sub>1</sub> – R<sub>2</sub>, R<sub>2</sub> $\to$ R<sub>2</sub> – R<sub>3</sub> <br><br>$$\left| {\matrix{ { - 1} &amp; 1 &amp; 0 \cr 1 &amp; 0 &amp; { - 1} \cr {{{\cos }^2}x} &amp; {{{\sin }^2}x} &amp; {1 + \sin 2x} \cr } } \right|$$ <br><br>= –1(sin<sup>2</sup> x) – 1(1 + sin2x + cos<sup>2</sup> x) <br><br>= - sin2x - 2 <br><br>$\therefore$ minimum value when sin2x = 1 <br><br>m = - 2 - 1 = -3 <br><br>$\therefore$ Maximum value when sin2x = –1 <br><br> M = -2 + 1 = -1 <br><br>$\therefore$ (m, M) = (–3, –1)
