Which of the following is correct
(A)   Determinant is a square matrix.
(B)   Determinant is a number associated to a matrix.
(C)   Determinant is a number associated to a square matrix.
(D)   None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Determinant is defined only for a square matrix. and its denotes the value of that square matrix.
As we know that To every square matrix A of order n, we can associate a number called determinant of the square matrix A
