MCQ
$\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{a - b - c}&{2a}&{2a}\\{2b}&{b - c - a}&{2b}\\{2c}&{2c}&{c - a - b}\end{array}\,} \right| = $
  • A
    ${(a + b + c)^2}$
  • ${(a + b + c)^3}$
  • C
    $(a + b + c)(ab + bc + ca)$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
${(a + b + c)^3}$
b
(b) $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{a - b - c}&{2a}&{2a}\\{2b}&{b - c - a}&{2b}\\{2c}&{2c}&{c - a - b}\end{array}\,} \right|$

= $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - \Sigma a}&0&{2a}\\{\Sigma a}&{ - \Sigma a}&{2b}\\0&{\Sigma a}&{c - a - b}\end{array}\,} \right|$ , $\left( \begin{array}{l}{C_1} \to {C_1} - {C_2}\\{C_2} \to {C_2} - {C_3}\end{array} \right)$

= ${(\Sigma a)^2}\,\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 1}&0&{2a}\\1&{ - 1}&{2b}\\1&1&{c - a - b}\end{array}\,} \right| = {(\Sigma a)^3}$,                           ( on expansion)

= ${(a + b + c)^3}$.
