The value of $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{1^2}}&{{2^2}}&{{3^2}}\\{{2^2}}&{{3^2}}&{{4^2}}\\{{3^2}}&{{4^2}}&{{5^2}}\end{array}\,} \right|$ is

A

$8$

B

$-8$

C

$400$

D

$1$

Solution

(b) $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{1^2}}&{{2^2}}&{{3^2}}\\{{2^2}}&{{3^2}}&{{4^2}}\\{{3^2}}&{{4^2}}&{{5^2}}\end{array}\,} \right| $      {Operate ${R_3}\, \to {R_3} – {R_2}$,${R_2} \to {R_2} – {R_1}$}

= $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&4&9\\3&5&7\\5&7&9\end{array}\,} \right|$$ = 1(45 – 49) – 4\,(27 – 35) + 9\,(21 – 25)$

= $ – 4 + 32 – 36 = – 8$.
