just substitute x,y,z in the eqn and u get A=20

now dat A=20,again substitute x,y,z = 1,2,3 resp and u get v=20*11= 220

DEAR NIKITHA ,

 

simply put the values

120  =A( 2*(-1) + (-1) *8 + 8 *(2))

120  = A(6)

=>  A = 20.

 

so again for (1,2,3) 

v  =  20 (1*2 + 2*3 + 3* 1)

v = 220v

GUD LUCK !!!!
