Solution
Matrix A will be singular if [ A ] = 0
\[\Rightarrow \left( x - 1 \right)\left[ \left( x - 1 \right)^2 - 1 \right] - 1\left( x - 1 - 1 \right) + 1\left[ 1 - \left( x - 1 \right) \right] = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow \left( x - 1 \right)\left( x^2 - 2x \right) - 1\left( x - 2 \right) + 1\left( 2 - x \right) = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow x^3 - 2 x^2 - x^2 + 2x - x + 2 - x + 2 = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow x^3 - 3 x^2 + 4 = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow \left( x - 2 \right)^2 \left( x + 1 \right) = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = 2 \text{ or }x = - 1\]
