Determinant of triangular (upper or lower) matrix:
AAlways 1
BProduct of diagonal entries
CSum of entries
DAlways 0
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Product of diagonal entries
For triangular matrix, det = product of diagonal entries. Includes diagonal matrices. Why row reduction to triangular form is useful for computing determinants.
