MCQ
If $ab + bc + ca = 0$ and $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{a - x}&c&b\\c&{b - x}&a\\b&a&{c - x}\end{array}\,} \right| = 0$, then one of the value of $x$ is
  • ${({a^2} + {b^2} + {c^2})^{\frac{1}{2}}}$
  • B
    ${\left[ {\frac{3}{2}({a^2} + {b^2} + {c^2})} \right]^{\frac{1}{2}}}$
  • C
    ${\left[ {\frac{1}{2}({a^2} + {b^2} + {c^2})} \right]^{\frac{1}{2}}}$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
${({a^2} + {b^2} + {c^2})^{\frac{1}{2}}}$
a
(a) Applying $ {c_1}→{c_1}+{c_2}+{c_3}$

$(a+b+c-x)$  $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  1&c&b \\ 
  1&{b - x}&a \\ 
  1&a&{c - x} 
\end{array}\,} \right|\, = 0$

=> $(a+b+c-x)$ $[{(b-x)(c-x)-a^2}$ $ + c(a-c+x) + {b({a-b+x)}}] =0$

=> $(a+b+c-x)$ $[(bc-cx+bx+x^2-a^2 + ca - c^2 + cx +ab -b^2 +bx] =0$

==> $(a+b+c)[x^2 -(a^2+b^2+c^2)+ab+bc+ca]=0$

==>$(a+b+c-x)[x^2-(a^2 + b^2 +c^2] = 0$

                                                                                 [ $\because$ $ab + bc + ca = 0$]

$\therefore$ $x=a+b+c $ $ and (a^2+b^2+c^2)^{1/2} $
