now do the same research for determinants and
provide me in the same way
Here are 30 practice questions on Determinants modelled on CBSE past papers and CBSE’s
competency-based item booklets (Grade 12 Maths, Vol 1 & Vol 2). [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

D. Competency / case‑based style (3–4 marks each)
16. The coordinates of three vertices of a triangle are , , .
Use determinants to find the area of the triangle and state whether the three points are
collinear. [1] [8]
17. A farmer owns three plots of land with coordinates , , .

(b) If he sells plot at and buys a new plot at , find the area of triangle and
compare. [11] [8]
18. The vertices of a quadrilateral are , , , .
Using determinants and splitting into triangles, find the area of the quadrilateral. [11] [8]
19. A linear equation in two variables is represented as
For two such lines and , write the determinant used to
check if the lines are parallel or intersecting, and explain the condition in terms of that
determinant. [4] [8]
20. A system of three linear equations in three variables is represented as
where is a coefficient matrix. Explain how the determinant of helps to decide whether
the system has a unique solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions (conceptual
explanation, no numeric example). [4] [2]
E. Standard 4‑mark board‑style questions
21. Evaluate the determinant using properties:

27. If and are square matrices of order 3 with and , find . Show
working using determinant properties. [11] [3]
28. Show that if two rows of a determinant are identical, then the value of the determinant is
zero. Illustrate with a example. [1] [8]
29. Consider the determinant
If , show that using row/column operations. [9] [2]
30. Given
find and state for which value(s) of the matrix becomes singular. [2] [7]
