The Pharisees were not seeking truth or knowledge, but were planted to trap Jesus. This question came after that dramatic eviction of merchants at the temple, and remember that the chief priests and the scribes were indignant about the actions of Jesus- so He Jesus knew their minds, and applied the same currency to reach to the truth about where his authority came from.

What lesson do you think Jesus taught the disciples by cursing the fig tree? He taught them to have faith. He taught them never to doubt anything when thet pray. He taught them that by prayer, they would receive whatever they asked. He taught them that as believers, and unlike that fig tree, they ought to bear fruits, all season.

Why did Jesus clear the temple in such a dramatic manner? Why did not he try to accomplish the same thing more diplomatically? To clear the temple dipomatically meant going upto the chief priests, and the scribes of the law, pleading and arguing with them about the function of the Temple of God. He would, if possible, agree with them in trying to justify his actions, and using the law enforcement arm of the temple, the chief priests would then order the eviction of the traders ''robbers''. But simply look at the reactions of the scribes and the chief priests. Were they the type to agree with Jesus? This option of diplomatic eviction would not work out- and Jesus knew their minds. Secondly, when it came to matters of God, the Scripture, or the Temple, Jesus was simply the King and the Lord. He had the power to do the will of God, and needed no consent from any humans. His dramatic action was therefore a point of no compromise with the world, and a demonstration of his divine prowess.
