  We give some necessary conditions for maximality of $0/1$-determinant. Let
${\bf M}$ be a nondegenerate $0/1$-matrix of order $n$. Denote by $\bf A$ the
matrix of order $n+1$ which appears from ${\bf M}$ after adding the $(n+1)$th
row $(0,0,\ldots,0,1)$ and the $(n+1)$th column consisting of $1$'s. Suppose
${\bf A}^{-1}=(l_{ij}),$ then for all $i=1,\ldots,n$ we have $\sum_{j=1}^{n+1}
|l_{ij}|\geq 2.$ Moreover, if $|\det({\bf M})|$ is equal to the maximum value
of a $0/1$-determinant of order $n$, then $\sum_{j=1}^{n+1} |l_{ij}|= 2$ for
all $i=1,\ldots,n$.
