Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

\( P^{2} = \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 \end{vmatrix} \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 \end{vmatrix}\)

\(\begin{vmatrix} 1 \times 1 + 1 \times 2 & 1 \times 1 + 1 \times 1 \\ 2 \times 1 + 1 \times 2 & 2 \times 1 + 1 \times 1 \end{vmatrix}\)

= \(\begin{vmatrix} 3 & 2 \\ 4 & 3 \end{vmatrix} + \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 \end{vmatrix}\)

= \(\begin{vmatrix} 4 & 3 \\ 6 & 4 \end{vmatrix}\)
