3 and 4 .Determinants and Matrices
easy
$\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) $\Delta = \frac{1}{a}[ab – ca] + 1\left[ {ca.\frac{1}{c} – \frac{1}{b}.ab} \right] + bc\left[ {\frac{1}{b} – \frac{1}{c}} \right]$
==>$\Delta = (b – c) + 1(a – a) + (c – b)$
==> $\Delta = 0$.
