MCQ
Determinant $\left|\begin{array}{cc}1 & \log _b a \\ \log _a b & 1\end{array}\right|=$
  • A
    1
  • $0$
  • C
    $\log _a b$
  • D
    $\log _b a$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$0$
(B)
$
\begin{aligned}
1-\log _b a \times \log _a b & =1-\log _a a=1-1=0 \\
\log _a a & =1
\end{aligned}
$
Hence correct option is (B).
