$\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{1/a}&1&{bc}\\{1/b}&1&{ca}\\{1/c}&1&{ab}\end{array}\,} \right| = $

A

$0$

B

$abc$

C

$1/abc$

D

None of these

Solution

(a) $\Delta = \frac{1}{a}[ab – ca] + 1\left[ {ca.\frac{1}{c} – \frac{1}{b}.ab} \right] + bc\left[ {\frac{1}{b} – \frac{1}{c}} \right]$

==>$\Delta = (b – c) + 1(a – a) + (c – b)$

==> $\Delta = 0$.
