$\Delta = \left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{a + x}&b&c\\b&{x + c}&a\\c&a&{x + b}\end{array}\,} \right|$,which of the following is a factor for the above determinant

A

$x - (a + b + c)$

B

$x + (a + b + c)$

C

$a + b + c$

D

$ - (a + b + c)$

Solution

(b) Operating ${C_1} \to {C_1} + {C_2} + {C_3}$
we find that $x + a + b + c$ is a factor.
