det A = a3+b3+c3-3abc ≥ 0

We are given (det A)2=1 and so det A =1

That means a3+b3+c3=4

yup sir..

but answer given as a+b+c+3

\begin{bmatrix} \sum a^2 & \sum ab & \sum ab \\ \sum ab & \sum a^2 & \sum ab \\ \sum ab & \sum ab & \sum a^2 \end{bmatrix} =\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}

\\\sum{a^2}=1\\\sum{ab}=0

a3+b3+c3-3abc=(a+b+c)(a2+b2+c2-ab-bc-ca)
=(a+b+c)(1-0)
so a3+b3+c3=a+b+c+3abc=a+b+c+3

also look at bhatt sir's answer abv..

(the question was a single option one)

the problem is you have said a,b,c are +ve real numbers. In that case we cannot have \sum ab = 0

For the second one,they are talking about this concept: We have f'(x0) = 0. But f"(x0) = 0. What more do we need to do to establish whether x0 is an extremum point or not?
