MCQ
The value of $\left|\begin{array}{rrr}\cos (\alpha+\beta) & -\sin (\alpha+\beta) & \cos 2 \beta \\ \sin \alpha & \cos \alpha & \sin \beta \\ -\cos \alpha & \sin \alpha & \cos \beta\end{array}\right|$ is independent of
  • $\alpha$
  • B
    $\beta$
  • C
    $\alpha, \beta$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\alpha$
(a) : Expanding given determinant along $R_1$, we get $\cos ^2(\alpha+\beta)+\sin ^2(\alpha+\beta)+\cos 2 \beta=1+\cos 2 \beta$,
Which is independent of $\alpha$.
