Q80 / 160 · WBJEE 2011 · Mathematics

If one of the cube roots of 1 be \(\omega\), then \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 1+\omega^2 & \omega^2 \\ 1-i & -1 & \omega^2-1 \\ -i & -1+\omega & -1\end{array}\right|=\)

  • A
    \(\omega\)
  • B
    1
  • C
    1
  • Correct answer
    D
    0

Solution

Hints: \(\mathrm{C}_2 \rightarrow \mathrm{C}_2-\mathrm{C}_3\) \(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{C}_3 \rightarrow \mathrm{C}_3+\mathrm{C}_2 \\ & \mathrm{C}_3 \rightarrow \mathrm{C}_3+\omega \mathrm{C}_1 \\ & \mathrm{C}_2 \rightarrow \mathrm{C}_2-\mathrm{C}_1 \end{aligned}\)

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
