Answer

$\begin{vmatrix}\text{b}^2-\text{ab}&\text{b}-\text{c}&\text{bc}-\text{ac}\\\text{ab}-\text{a}^2&\text{a}-\text{b}&\text{b}^2-\text{ab}\\\text{bc}-\text{ac}&\text{c}-\text{a}&\text{ab}-\text{a}^2\end{vmatrix}=\begin{vmatrix}\text{b}(\text{b}-\text{a})&\text{b}-\text{c}&\text{c}(\text{b}-\text{a})\\\text{a}(\text{b}-\text{a})&\text{a}-\text{b}&\text{b}(\text{b}-\text{a})\\\text{c}(\text{b}-\text{a})&\text{c}-\text{a}&\text{a}(\text{b}-\text{a})\end{vmatrix}$
$=(\text{b}-\text{a})^2\begin{vmatrix}\text{b}&\text{b}-\text{c}&\text{c}\\\text{a}&\text{a}-\text{b}&\text{b}\\\text{c}&\text{c}-\text{a}&\text{a}\end{vmatrix}$
$[$on taking $(b - a)$ common from $C_1$ and $C_3$ each$]$
$=(\text{b}-\text{a})^2\begin{vmatrix}\text{b}-\text{c}&\text{b}-\text{c}&\text{c}\\\text{a}-\text{b}&\text{a}-\text{b}&\text{b}\\\text{c}-\text{a}&\text{c}-\text{a}&\text{a}\end{vmatrix}$ $\big[\because\ \text{C}_1\rightarrow\text{C}_1-\text{C}_3\big]$
$=0$
$[$Since, two columns $C_1$ and $C_2$ are identical, so the value of determinant is zero$]$
