Question :-
is equal to
Given determinant is
Now, we know that,
and
Consider
Now, 2 cases arises :-
Case :- 1 When n is multiple of 3
Let n = 3m, where m is a natural number.
and
Now, Consider
can be rewritten as
Case :- 2 When n is not a multiple of 3
Let n = 3m + 1, where m is a natural number.
So,
can be rewritten as
So, we have
Now, Consider
Case :- 1 When n a multiple of 3, the determinant can be rewritten as
Since, any two rows or columns are identical, then determinant value is 0.
Now, Consider Case :- 2 When n is not a multiple of 3
If any one row or column is completely 0, then determinant value is 0.
Hence, from this we concluded that,
So, option (A) is correct.

Additional Information :-
1. The determinant value remains unaltered if rows and columns are interchanged.
2. The determinant value is 0, if two rows or columns are identical.
3. The determinant value is multiplied by - 1, if successive rows or columns are interchanged.
4. The determinant value remains unaltered if rows or columns are added or subtracted.
