If $\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{a - b - c}&{2a}&{2a}\\
{2b}&{b - c - a}&{2b}\\
{2c}&{2c}&{c - a - b}
\end{array}} \right|$ $ = \left( {a + b + c} \right)\,{\left( {x + a + b + c} \right)^2}$ , $x   \ne 0$ and $a + b + c \ne 0$, then $x$ is equal to
  • A
    $abc$
  • $ - 2 \left( {a + b + c} \right)$
  • C
    $ 2 \left( {a + b + c} \right)$
  • D
    $ - \left( {a + b + c} \right)$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$ - 2 \left( {a + b + c} \right)$
b
${R_1} \to {R_1} + {R_2} + {R_3}$

$\left( {a + b + c} \right)\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
1&1&1\\
{2b}&{b - a - c}&{2b}\\
{2c}&{2c}&{c - a - b}
\end{array}} \right|$

${c_3} \to {c_3} - {c_1},{c_2} \to {c_2} - {c_1}$

$ = \left( {a + b + c} \right)\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
1&0&0\\
{2b}&{ - \left( {a + b + c} \right)}&0\\
{2c}&0&{ - \left( {a + b + c} \right)}
\end{array}} \right|$

$ = {\left( {a + b + c} \right)^3}$

$ = \left( {a + b + c} \right){\left( {x + a + b + c} \right)^2}$

Football teams $T_1$ and $T_2$ have to play two games against each other. It is assumed that the outcomes of the two games are independent. The probabilities of $T_1$ winning, drawing and losing a game against $T_2$ are $\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{6}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$, respectively. Each team gets $3$ points for a win, $1$ point for a draw and $0$ point for a loss in a game. Let $X$ and $Y$ denote the total points scored ky teams $T_1$ and $T_2$, respectively, after two games.
